Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 g wide egg noodles
- 85 g unsalted butter (melted)
- 5 pieces large eggs
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 240 ml sour cream
- 240 ml cottage cheese
- 120 ml whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 120 g raisins
- 60 g cornflakes (optional, for topping)
- 30 g brown sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
- 30 g unsalted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add the melted butter to the noodles and toss to coat evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, sour cream, cottage cheese, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the noodles and stir to combine. Add the raisins and gently fold them into the mixture.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If making the optional topping, combine cornflakes, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the noodle kugel.
Bake the kugel in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown.
Allow the kugel to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
