Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins
- 1.5 cups crushed cornflakes
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter to the hot noodles and stir until melted and evenly coated.
In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
Pour the cheese mixture over the buttered noodles and stir until the noodles are fully coated. Gently fold in the raisins.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, brown sugar, and melted butter to create the topping. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the noodle mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the topping is golden brown.
Allow the kugel to cool slightly before slicing into squares and serving warm or at room temperature.
