A kugel is a baked pudding or casserole, similar to a pie, most commonly made from egg noodles or potatoes. Sweet or savory, potato or noodle they are a wonderful side dish.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb wide egg noodles
8 large eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
2 lb cottage cheese, any type as long as it is full fat
1 1/2 stick butter, unsalted
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
dash(es) kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Parboil the noodles (five to seven minutes).
  • 2. In a very large bowl beat eggs until fluffy. Add the sugar gradually, then the cottage cheese, margarine or butter and vanilla. Stir in the drained noodles.
  • 3. Pour into a 9×13-inch pan. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until kugel is set.
  • 4. To make a Cherry Noodle Kugel top the noodle kugel with one can of Cherry Pie filling after the first hour of baking. I like to add a teaspoon of almond extract to my cherry pie filling before spreading over the kugel. Continue baking for 30 minutes.
