Creamy & Crunchy Kugel
Recipe by: Sierra Tishgart
Cook Time: 1.5 hours
The best of both worlds
Kugel is a Jewish noodle casserole that I ate every year at holidays and family gatherings growing up in Philadelphia. It’s crunchy on top but creamy and sweet inside. It’s usually eaten with the savory portion of a meal, but as a kid, it was the best thing ever because it was like getting to eat dessert before dessert! The recipe has been in the family for 40 years and I’m so glad to be able to share it with you.
