Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until just al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Steam the broccoli florets until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, cottage cheese, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked egg noodles, steamed broccoli, and sautéed onion mixture to the bowl. Fold everything together until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top, and, if desired, lightly dust with paprika for color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the kugel to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or hearty main course.
