Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 oz wide egg noodles
6 large eggs
2 c sour cream
1 c cottage cheese
8 oz cream cheese
1 c sugar
1/4 c (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 tsp salt
cinnamon and sugar for dusting
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the noodles, bring back to a boil and let them cook till tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  • 2. In a food processor or blender, mix together the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked noodles in the pot and stir till well combined.
  • 3. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the noodle mixture into the dish. Top the kugel by sprinkling generously with sugar and lightly with cinnamon. Or you can use your favorite topping: streusel, crushed graham crackers, cornflakes, etc.
  • 4. Bake the kugel in a preheated 350-degree oven on a center rack for about 60 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, till the center of the kugel is set and the tips of the noodles turn golden brown.
  • 5. Remove from the oven. Let the kugel rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Kugel can be served warm or cold.
  • 6. NOTE: If you prefer a savory kugel, simply omit the sugar and the sweet toppings. Use buttered bread or cracker crumbs instead for topping.

I love the contrast between the crispy crust and the soft, gooey filling. It's the perfect combination of textures.

The filling was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my kugel turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I didn't have any sour cream on hand, so I substituted Greek yogurt instead. It worked perfectly and the kugel was still delicious.

The instructions in this recipe were a bit unclear in some places. I had to do some guesswork, but the kugel still turned out well.

I love experimenting with different flavors in my cooking. I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the filling and it gave the kugel a warm, autumnal flavor that was perfect for the season.
