Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1.5 cups cottage cheese
- 0.75 cups sugar
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
- 1 cup cornflakes (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and cinnamon until smooth.
Fold the cooked noodles into the egg mixture until evenly coated. If using, mix in the raisins.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the topping resembles wet sand.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the noodle mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature for best results. Enjoy!
