Savory Kugel

 Savory Kugel Recipe


Savory Kugel Recipe

Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish that can be sweet or savory. This savory kugel is a comforting, flavorful side dish made with egg noodles, onions, eggs, and seasoning. It’s perfect for holidays, family dinners, or any special occasion.


Ingredients (Serves 6-8):

  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter (or oil for a lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cook the Noodles:

    • Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Onions:

    • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden.
  4. Prepare the Kugel Mixture:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the cooked onions and the cooked noodles.
  5. Assemble:

    • Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Optional Topping:

    • If desired, sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs for a crispy, golden topping.
  7. Bake:

    • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown on top and set in the middle.
  8. Garnish and Serve:

    • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional). Serve warm as a side dish.

Tips:

  • You can add extra vegetables like sautéed mushrooms or spinach for added flavor.
  • For a more decadent kugel, you can substitute the sour cream and cottage cheese with heavy cream or cream cheese.
  • Make it ahead: This kugel can be prepared a day in advance and baked just before serving.

This savory kugel is a delicious and comforting dish that pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, brisket, or any festive meal! 🍲
