Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups sour cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups golden raisins (optional)
- 1.5 cups cornflake crumbs
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, draining when al dente. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Gradually blend this egg mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the cooked egg noodles and golden raisins (if using) until evenly combined. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornflake crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until it resembles a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the noodle mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the kugel is set and the topping is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the kugel to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
