Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Wide egg noodles
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cottage cheese (small curd)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 1 cup Cornflakes (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cook the wide egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter to the hot noodles, and stir until the butter is fully melted and the noodles are evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, sour cream, cottage cheese, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture over the buttered noodles and mix until well combined.
Fold in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the noodle mixture.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the noodle mixture to create a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.
Remove the Kugel from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or dessert. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
