A classic kugel recipe, just the right amount of dense and rich, with a sprinkling of raisins and a slightly secret ingredient from my grandfather. Perfect for Rosh Hashana or the break fast meal on Yom Kippur.

Categories     Main Course

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.

CRUNCHY NOODLE KUGEL à LA GREAT-AUNT MARTHA



Crunchy Noodle Kugel à la Great-Aunt Martha image

The genius of this sweet noodle kugel - the rich, custardy casserole that is a staple of Jewish cooking - is that its top is designed to offer maximum crunch while its interior remains creamy and luscious. The secret: use a jellyroll pan, which means that there is a greater amount of kugel surface area to brown in the oven, and bake it at a slightly higher temperature. Soaking the raisins in sherry or orange juice adds flavor, and also keeps them from burning in the extra-hot oven.

Categories     dinner, lunch, casseroles, noodles, main course, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup raisins
Sherry or orange juice
1 pound egg noodles
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, more for pan
4 large eggs
3 cups cottage cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Put raisins in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan and cover with sherry or orange juice. Heat on stove top or in microwave oven until liquid is steaming hot (about 1 1/2 minutes in microwave or 3 minutes on stove). Let cool while you prepare kugel mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 11-by-17-inch jellyroll pan. Cook noodles according to package directions and drain well. Immediately return noodles to pot and add butter. Toss until butter melts.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest and salt. Drain raisins and add to bowl along with buttered noodles. Mix well.
  • Spread mixture in prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until top is crusty and golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
