Ingredients

• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 3 large yellow onions
• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons sugar
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, all-purpose flour, remaining vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, baking powder, and sugar until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the cooked egg noodles and caramelized onions to the egg mixture. Gently fold together until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each one to the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the kugels are set, golden brown on top, and slightly crispy around the edges.

Step 8

Let the muffin cup kugels cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or snack.
