Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cup crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Place the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30-45 seconds until melted.
Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
Stir in the cooked noodles and raisins (if using) until the mixture is evenly distributed.
Grease a microwave-safe 8x8-inch baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray or a little butter.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs with the brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the kugel.
Microwave the kugel on high for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture is set and the topping is slightly crisp. Depending on your microwave's power, you may need to adjust the time slightly. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center—it should come out clean.
Let the kugel cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
