Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
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 the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat, allowing it to cool slightly once melted.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles with the shredded Swiss cheese. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the noodles and stir until evenly coated.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the noodle casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.
Remove the kugel from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
