Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 whole large eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1.5 cups sour cream
• 0.75 cups sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups raisins
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain the noodles and return them to the pot.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter to the hot noodles and stir until the butter is completely melted and the noodles are coated.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the buttered noodles in the pot. Add the raisins and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the powdered sugar. Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the noodle mixture in the pot.

Step 7

Place the pot in the preheated oven, uncovered, and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set.

Step 8

Remove the pot from the oven and allow the kugel to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
