Savory Noodle Kugel Pudding Recipe
Ellen Easton shares with us her family recipe for a Savory Noodle Kugel Pudding. Kugel, also pronounced as koogle or keegal in Eastern European countries, is a baked noodle pudding recipe that is a traditional casserole side dish to serve for the weekly Jewish Sabbath meals and special holidays. Alternatively, kugel can be made with potatoes instead of egg noodles. The noodle kugel pudding results are creamy and cheesy.
For Ellen’s Passover Dinner Menu, she features her family kugel recipe as a comforting starchy side dish to accompany her Holiday Brisket Roast. Foods to warm the heart and feed the soul.
