Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 3 large yellow onions
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons sugar
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, all-purpose flour, remaining vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, baking powder, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked egg noodles and caramelized onions to the egg mixture. Gently fold together until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each one to the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the kugels are set, golden brown on top, and slightly crispy around the edges.
Let the muffin cup kugels cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or snack.
