Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces uncooked egg noodles
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes (for topping, optional)
- 2 tablespoons additional melted butter (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch or similarly sized baking dish and set it aside.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until tender but not overly soft. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Add the cooked rice, cooked noodles, and raisins (if using) to the mixture. Stir until evenly coated and combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If desired, sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes and drizzle with additional melted butter for a golden, crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the kugel is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
