Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 cups yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup farmer’s cheese (or drained ricotta)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Be patient, as this step builds the dish’s deep flavor. Season with 1/2 tsp of salt and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, farmer’s cheese, beaten eggs, sugar, remaining 1 tsp of salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked noodles and caramelized onions (reserve a small amount of onions for topping, if preferred) to the bowl. Toss gently until the noodles are well coated with the creamy mixture.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the reserved caramelized onions (if desired) and sprinkle with paprika for color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dish is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or main course.
