Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

6 eggs
1 1/2 cups 4-percent-fat cottage cheese (small or large curd, or California-style)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup raisins
6 tablespoons butter, melted
2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon salt
18 ounces wide, preferably flat egg noodles
Topping
1 cup coarsely crushed corn flakes
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

To make the kugel, in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, whirl together the eggs. Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, and sugar. Process until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the milk, raisins, melted butter, vanilla, and orange and lemon zests.
In a large pot, bring at least 5 quarts of water to a boil over high heat, salt, and cook the noodles until just before they are fully cooked, about 5 minutes, but check package directions for exact timing. Drain and stir the noodles into the egg-cheese mixture, then refrigerate, tightly covered, overnight. (I think this step of preparing ahead was mainly for convenience. I have baked the pudding immediately, and it turns out lighter; the noodles don't absorb as much of the custard.
Lightly butter a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
To make the topping, toss together the corn flakes, melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. To bake the kugel, pour the noodle mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle evenly with the topping. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Let stand at least 10 minutes before serving.

GRANDMA'S NOODLE KUGEL

Grandma's Noodle Kugel image

This was my grandma's noodle kugel and is really easy to make. Leftovers are great cold for lunch the next day! It's a lot lighter than many of the other kugels I saw here, but I'm still looking for ways to make it healthier without changing the taste too much. I've already switched the sour cream & cottage cheese to 'light', and the milk to skim. I'd love suggestions for ways to lighten it even more. UPDATE: In an effort to recreate a sweet topping I tasted on another relative's kugel, I came up with a new optional oatmeal topping. I like it a lot better than the cornflakes or plain.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

12 ounces wide egg noodles, cooked
4 tablespoons butter
4 ounces light sour cream
16 ounces 1% fat cottage cheese
4 eggs
3/4 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup corn flakes (crushed) or 3/4 cup oatmeal (uncooked)
3 tablespoons butter (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Use the butter to grease a 9 x 11 glass baking dish.
Add the rest of the butter to the hot noodles, and stir until melted.
Add sour cream and cottage cheese to the noodles.
Pour the noodles into the baking dish.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add milk to the eggs and beat. Add sugar and stir. Pour over the noodles.
If using oatmeal topping, melt butter in frying pan, then add oatmeal and brown sugar. Still until brown sugar dissolves and oatmeal is coated.
Sprinkle either the crushed cornflakes (eliminate the butter & brown sugar) or oatmeal topping over the noodles.
Bake for 40-45 minutes. Do not make in advance of when you plan to bake. The noodles will absorb the liquids and it will come out dry. It is done when some of the noodles on the top are just barely starting to lightly brown.
Serve immediately.

Tips:

Use day-old bread: This will help the kugel hold together better and give it a chewier texture.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the kugel dense and dry.
Bake the kugel until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through.
Let the kugel cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape better.
Serve the kugel with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include sour cream, applesauce, and cinnamon sugar.
