Sweet Noodle Kugel Recipe

The sweet dairy noodle kugel is a beloved Jewish-American comfort food, known for its creamy and comforting taste. With a straightforward recipe that includes egg noodles, cheese, butter, eggs, and fruit or vanilla, it’s often served on various occasions such as Shavuot, Shabbat, Yom Kippur break-the-fast or simply to indulge in its delectable flavors.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 1012 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 12 oz package wide egg noodles
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 8 oz full fat sour cream
  • 10 oz canned, crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a deep, square baking dish (8×8- or 9×9-inch). If your baking dish not a square, the kugel will be too thin and you won’t be able to scoop the kugel into balls.
  2. Cook noodles according to directions (around 8-10 minutes). Drain and use right away.
  3. Place butter in a large bowl. Add hot noodles right on top and allow the butter to melt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla together. Pour mixture on top of noodles and mix. Add sour cream, crushed pineapple and salt and mix again.
  5. Pour noodle mixture into greased baking dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until just golden on top.
