With Hanukkah approaching, I find myself grappling with the early arrival of the holiday season. Just as we were enjoying our Thanksgiving feast, it feels premature to shift our focus to gift-giving and festive celebrations. The excitement from my children is relentless, and I can only imagine how spoiled they will be by the end of the eight-night observance, which conveniently coincides with my friend Alan’s birthday next week. Nonetheless, in the spirit of the Festival of Lights, I’d like to share with you a delightful kugel recipe—an offering that requires no wrapping skills on my part.
For those unfamiliar with Jewish cuisine, there are certainly dishes you might want to avoid, such as gefilte fish and chopped liver. Trust me, you can lead a happy life without ever tasting those. However, certain foods are universal and should be experienced by everyone. Matzo ball soup, crispy potato latkes, and warm challah bread fall into this category. If you haven’t tried them, now is the time—go out and explore these culinary treasures!
Kugel is a unique dish that occupies an interesting space in Jewish cuisine. Many of the Jewish individuals I’ve shared my recipe with have declared it the best they’ve ever tasted. On the other hand, those outside the culture often find the concept of a sweet noodle pudding that serves as a side dish to be quite perplexing. I believe you will come to appreciate its charm. Here’s my ultimate kugel recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 package egg noodles, cooked and drained
- 1 pint Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 stick melted butter
- ½ lb cottage cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- Graham cracker crumbs
Instructions:
- Combine all ingredients except for the graham cracker crumbs in a greased 9 x 13″ pan.
- Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for approximately one hour, or until the top is bubbly and crispy.
While the final presentation may not be the most visually striking, I assure you that the flavor will be a hit.
Wishing you all a joyful Hanukkah filled with love and delicious food.
