KUGEL MUFFINS
Classic Jewish comfort food takes a fun-size turn in this creative recipe for kugel. As these sweet-and-savory noodle casseroles bake in their individual cups, the flavors meld together. Orange marmalade brightens the richness, providing tangy sour notes to complement the sweetness, while dried currants add texture and depth.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard muffin tin with tulip-shaped baking cups (or standard cups). Cook noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water 6 minutes; drain. Let cool 10 minutes.
- Whisk together cheese, sour cream, 1/3 cup sugar, zest and juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk in eggs and 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in noodles and currants. Divide mixture among muffin cups. Drizzle with remaining butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Dollop a little marmalade over each cup.
- Bake until kugel is set and tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes before serving with more marmalade on the side.
POTATO KUGEL
Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish often served at holidays. At Passover, a savory potato kugel is most common-a noodle kugel isn't allowed because pasta isn't kosher for Passover. This recipe hits all the traditional notes using schmaltz (chicken fat) to cook the onions and a dairy-free egg custard to hold the kugel all together. But instead of shredding all the potatoes I use frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, which are a great shortcut when you've got a whole dinner to make!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Melt the schmaltz (or heat the oil) in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, thyme and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the onions to a large bowl; add the potatoes and chives. Gently stir the mixture together.
- Whisk the eggs and salt in a medium bowl. Pour evenly over the potato mixture and fold in to combine. Spread and press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake until the kugel is set and you see the sides become a deep golden brown through the glass baking dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle each portion with more chives.

MUFFIN SIZE PASSOVER VEGETABLE KUGELS
Some weeks ago Chia helped me with suggestions of how to make smaller sized kugels. And lo and behold, while browsing on the net I found this recipe. Tweaked it a bit to my liking and immediately tried it. Such a good idea to use muffin tins. Besides Passover, matzohmeal can of course be substituted for flour. Thanks Chia for the initial suggestions.
