Muffin-Cup Onion Kugel image

Makes individual savory kugels with the aid of a muffin tin. A great side dish for a spicier main course or roasted meats (the cook temp and time is very nearly the same as that for a pork tenderloin). The leftovers are a nice snack cold, too. Though I've never done so, I believe they would probably freeze well. This recipe makes quite a lot, but is easily halved. If you end up with more batter than muffin tin space, you can bake the remainder in individual ovenproof ramekins. Recipe from Epicurious.com, though tweaked a bit by me. Preparation time does not include time to cook the noodles.
