Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Meanwhile, combine eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the noodles and onion. Pour noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until noodles are golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

SALT AND PEPPER KUGEL
This is my mom's recipe for a traditional Eastern European nonsweet kugel - or "kigel" which is how my her side of the family pronounced it. (I didn't know kugels could be sweet until I was a teen.) It's easy comfort food.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Put in greased or Pam'd 13 inch square pan.
- Bake about 1 hour or until set.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality bread. A stale or dry bread will not produce a good kugel.
- Soak the bread in milk or water before adding it to the kugel mixture. This will help to soften the bread and make it more absorbent.
- Use a variety of cheeses to add flavor and richness to the kugel. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Season the kugel well with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Bake the kugel in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and bubbly. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and depth of your baking dish.
- Serve the kugel warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
Conclusion:
Salt and pepper kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and cheese, and it can be easily customized to suit your own taste preferences.
