Ingredients
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the wide egg noodles according to package instructions until just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, whole milk, melted butter, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth.
Step 5
Add the cooked noodles to the bowl with the egg mixture. Toss gently to coat all the noodles evenly with the mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the kugel from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares or serving family-style.
Step 9
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
