Classic Dairy Noodle Kugel

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Dairy Noodle Kugel.

1. Step 1

   Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is bubbling away, stir in the wide egg noodles and let them cook uncovered, stirring occasionally. You want them to be cooked through but still firm to the bite, which should take about 5 minutes. Once done, drain the noodles well in a colander and set aside.

2. Step 2

   While the noodles are cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 1-quart baking dish and give it a light spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the extra large eggs and white sugar until they are well combined. Then, stir in the melted butter, lowfat whipped cottage cheese, sour cream, a pinch of salt, and ground black pepper to taste. This mixture should be creamy and inviting!

4. Step 4

   Gently fold in the cooked noodles, ensuring they are well coated with the creamy mixture. Spoon this delightful kugel mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. For a sweet touch, sprinkle the top with brown sugar, adjusting the amount to your taste.

5. Step 5

   Now, it's time to bake! Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and let it bake until the top is beautifully browned, which should take about 40 minutes. Once it's done, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This cooling time helps the kugel set up nicely, making it easier to slice and serve.
