A creamy, comforting baked egg noodle casserole with a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping, perfect as a side dish or dessert for holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 8 oz cottage cheese, low fat
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Topping: 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
  • Topping: 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Topping: 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, milk, and raisins if you are using them. Mix until smooth.
  4. Fold the drained noodles into the cheese mixture until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. For the topping, mix the crushed cornflakes, melted butter, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the kugel.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the kugel is set in the center and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Let the kugel cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it hold its shape.

Notes

  • If you skip the cornflake topping, you can sprinkle the top with extra cinnamon sugar before baking for a different texture.
  • This recipe works well for meal planning; leftovers store nicely in the refrigerator.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute full-fat dairy products.
