Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 cup raisins (optional, you may substitute other fruits like craisins, dried chopped apricots, all are very good!)
  • 12 ounces dry wide egg noodles
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese (the creamed kind)
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (salted or unsalted, it doesn't matter, more for greasing the pan)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • TOPPING
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Cover the raisins with hot water and let them soak to plump while you prepare the other ingredients.

  • Step 2: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles to the pot, bring back to a boil, and let them cook till tender (not overly soft), about 5 minutes. Drain and return the cooked noodles to the pot.

  • Step 3: In a food processor or blender, mix together the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sugar, melted butter, salt and cinnamon.

  • Step 4: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked noodles in the pot and stir till well combined.

  • Step 5: Drain the raisins and pat dry. Stir them into the noodles.

  • Step 6: Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish or coat with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the noodle mixture into the dish. evenly sprinkle over the top.

  • Step 7: Bake the kugel for about 60 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, till the center of the kugel is set and the tips of the noodles turn golden brown. Remove from the oven.

  • Step 8: Let the kugel rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Kugel can be served warm or cold (I like it warm).
