Sweet Cheese Noodle Kugel


  • Author: Leo Bennett
  • Total Time: 100 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

A 9-by-13-inch sweet egg-noodle kugel cut into twelve squares.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces Wide egg noodles, dry
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
  • 3 eggs Large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Golden raisins
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine salt
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Cook 12 oz wide egg noodles in boiling water just shy of package tenderness, about six to eight minutes depending on brand, then drain well. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with some of the measured 2 tbsp melted butter.
  2. Whisk 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 4 oz softened cream cheese, three eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp salt until combined. Fold in drained noodles and 1/2 cup golden raisins.
  3. Spread in the buttered dish and brush remaining melted butter lightly over the top. Bake about 45–50 minutes until edges are golden and the center of the egg-and-dairy casserole reaches at least 160°F on a food thermometer.
  4. Rest approximately twenty minutes before cutting twelve provisional squares. Measure center set, noodle tenderness, sweetness and portion size during a kitchen trial.
