Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 12-ounce package wide egg noodles
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 scallions, chopped, white and green parts separated
Three 10-ounce packages frozen cut spinach, thawed and drained
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
3 cups crumbled feta (about 16 ounces)
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, cooking frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Mix in the scallion greens and spinach and cook until spinach is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Pour into the bowl with the cooked noodles and gently mix to incorporate the spinach mixture.
  • Mix the eggs, cream, sour cream, 2 cups of the feta, dill, parsley, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Pour into the bowl with the noodles and gently mix until evenly incorporated. Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the top with the Parmesan and remaining 1 cup feta. Bake, rotating halfway through, until the top is golden brown and the custard is set, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound wide egg noodles
5 extra-large eggs
4 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup golden raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 10 by 13 by 2 1/4-inch baking dish.
  • Drizzle some oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Cook the noodles for 6 to 8 minutes, until tender. Drain.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir in the ricotta and raisins. Add the drained noodles.
  • Pour the noodle mixture into the baking dish. Place the filled dish in a larger pan and pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides. Cover the entire assembly with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 45 minutes, or until the custard is just set.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a milder flavor and more nutrients than frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Cook the spinach thoroughly: Spinach should be cooked until it is wilted and tender, but not overcooked.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The classic spinach kugel recipe uses a combination of ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, and Parmesan cheese. You can also use other types of cheese, such as feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, or Gruyère cheese.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: Spinach kugel is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your taste. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Bake the kugel until it is golden brown: The kugel should be baked until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
