• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup raisins
• 1.5 cups crushed cornflakes
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter to the hot noodles and stir until melted and evenly coated.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the cheese mixture over the buttered noodles and stir until the noodles are fully coated. Gently fold in the raisins.

Step 6

Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, brown sugar, and melted butter to create the topping. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the noodle mixture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the kugel to cool slightly before slicing into squares and serving warm or at room temperature.
