Ingredients

• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 16 ounces Cottage cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.25 cups Sugar

• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Crushed graham crackers (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

If using raisins, fold them into the cheese mixture.

Step 6

Add the cooked egg noodles to the cheese mixture and gently toss until the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle ground cinnamon and crushed graham crackers over the top for extra flavor and texture.

Step 9

Bake the cheesecake kugel in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 10

Remove the kugel from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
