Ingredients

• 12 ounces wide egg noodles
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 0.75 cups sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
• 1 cup cornflakes (crushed, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, softened cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Fold the cooked egg noodles into the cheese mixture, ensuring all the noodles are evenly coated. If using raisins, stir them in at this stage.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes, brown sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle this topping mixture evenly over the noodles.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set. You can check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out mostly clean.

Step 8

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