Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Egg noodles
  • 3 cups Broccoli florets
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1.5 cups Sour cream
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
  • 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Steam the broccoli florets until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the cooked egg noodles, steamed broccoli, and sautéed onion mixture to the bowl. Fold everything together until well combined.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the kugel to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or hearty main course.
