Description

A cherished family favorite, this easy Rosh Hashanah Noodle Kugel with Cinnamon offers a creamy, sweet taste with crispy, golden-brown edges and a soft, custardy center. It is surprisingly simple to make, perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz wide egg noodles
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 oz wide egg noodles and cook until al dente (about 7-9 minutes). Drain them very well in a colander, making sure no excess water remains.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese, 2 cups cottage cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 4 large eggs, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Melt Butter and Add Cinnamon: In a small bowl, melt 0.25 cup unsalted butter. Stir in 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon until fragrant and fully combined.
  4. Combine Everything: Gently fold the drained noodles into the creamy cheese mixture until evenly coated. Pour the cinnamon butter mixture over the noodle-cheese blend and mix again, ensuring every noodle is touched by that sweet spice. (If the mixture seems too dry, a splash of milk (1-2 tablespoons) can help loosen it up.)
  5. Bake the Kugel: Pour the entire mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is mostly set with just a slight wobble.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the kugel cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up and makes for cleaner slices.

Notes

To prevent a watery kugel, ensure noodles are thoroughly drained. For a lighter option, use low-fat dairy for cottage cheese and sour cream. Consider incorporating an extra egg white for a high-protein twist, or golden raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
