Kugel is a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dish that is often served during holidays and festive meals. Typically baked as a casserole, kugel combines eggs, noodles (or sometimes potatoes), and dairy ingredients like cottage cheese or sour cream, with optional additions like raisins, cinnamon, or vegetables for variety. Originating in Eastern Europe, it has evolved over time into both savory and sweet versions. Kugel is rich in carbohydrates and protein due to its base ingredients, making it a hearty dish. While it can offer nutrients like calcium from the dairy and fiber from added vegetables, sweet versions may be high in sugar and fat, depending on the recipe. Moderation is key to enjoying its comforting flavors while maintaining a balanced diet. Kugel’s versatility allows it to be adapted to healthier recipes with whole-grain noodles or reduced-fat dairy options.
