Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter (cut into pieces, plus extra for buttering the pan)
1 cup raisins
Grated zest and strained juice of 1 orange
1 package (12 ounces wide egg noodles)
6 large eggs
2 cups cottage cheese
2 cups sour cream
2 cups whole milk
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher or coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine the raisins and the orange juice and set aside to soak. Cook the noodles according to the package directions.
  • Whisk together the orange zest, eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Add the plumped raisins and up to 1 tablespoon of any remaining juice.
  • Drain the noodles and return them to the pot. Add the butter in pieces and toss until melted. Add the cottage cheese mixture and stir gently until well combined. Transfer the noodles to the prepared pan.
  • Bake the kugel until a bit bubbly around the edges, well set, and pretty well browned, 1 hour and 15 minutes. Broil it for 1 or 2 minutes if you like a really crunchy top.
  • Transfer the kugel to a wire rack and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. It is great warm or at room temperature.

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

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.

LOKSHIN KUGEL (NOODLE PUDDING)



Lokshin Kugel (Noodle Pudding) image

This is a side dish commonly served with roasted chicken for Friday night (Shabbat) dinner. It doesn't have to accompany chicken only, but, as my mother once told us, when she was a child, chicken and noodles were more affordable than other foods. This is a great accompaniment to any meat.
