Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 2 cups sour cream

• 0.25 cup brown sugar (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add the sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese (softened), sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cinnamon and fold in the raisins, if using.

Step 5

Add the cooked noodles to the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 6

Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs (or crushed graham crackers), brown sugar, and melted butter for the topping. Mix until crumbly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the noodle mixture in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set.

Step 10

Allow the kugel to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
