Instructions
- Place a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles to the pot, bring back to a boil, and let them cook till tender (not overly soft), about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse the noodles with cold water, and return the cooked noodles to the pot.
- In a food processor or blender, mix together the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sugar, melted butter, spices and salt.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked noodles in the pot and stir till well combined.
- Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking oil. Pour the noodle mixture into the dish.
- Mix the topping ingredients together with clean hands till the crumbs are evenly moistened with butter. Sprinkle the topping over the kugel. Alternatively, you can use your favorite kugel topping (streusel, cornflakes) or simply sprinkle generously with sugar and lightly with cinnamon. This will result in the top noodles forming a crunchy top to the kugel, which some people prefer to a topping.Bake the kugel for about 60 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, till the center of the kugel is set. Remove from the oven. Let the kugel rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. The more it cools, the easier it will be to slice cleanly. Kugel can be served warm or cold.
- I usually like kugel with raisins or other fruits added in, but I left them out of this one so the chai flavor could take center stage. You can feel free to add them if you wish, raisins in particular will work great with the spices to give another dimension of flavor. If you want to add them, or any other dried fruits, I recommend measuring out a cup of fruit and soaking it in hot water for about 10 minutes, then draining, before adding to the kugel ingredients. This will help plump the fruit and keep it juicy as it bakes inside the kugel.
