The method

Step by step

1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with butter.
About 5 min
2
Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Do not overcook the noodles, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt until well combined.
About 3 min
4
Add the melted butter to the egg mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
About 1 min
5
Gently fold the cooked and drained noodles into the egg mixture, ensuring all the noodles are coated.
About 1 min
6
Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
About 1 min
7
Bake for 60 minutes, or until the kugel is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
About 1 hr
Cook’s note: If the top browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil.
8
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Allowing it to rest helps the kugel set and makes for cleaner slices.
