Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- Kosher salt
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- Freshly ground pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups small-curd cottage cheese
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 3 cups cornflakes, coarsely crushed
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon sugar and cook until soft and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, reserving the skillet.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain the noodles and add to the bowl with the onion mixture; season with salt and pepper.
Pulse the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, cinnamon, orange zest, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until smooth. Add to the noodles and toss, then transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat, add the cornflakes and toss. Sprinkle over the pasta and bake until just set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Tasteless. I added more cinnamon and more orange zest than called for and while it looked good, it was tasteless.

Got my Foodnetwork Magazine with this recipe in it and tried it immediately. IT.WAS.DELICICOUS!!! That little bit of orange zest was just enough without overpowering the casserole. We had all we could do not to lick the casserole dish when it was gone..I made it several times after that and it always came out exactly the same...I am sure I will make it many more times

We made this recipe for a potluck luncheon, but we didn't have bread crumbs, so we used Panko. Did not taste like my mother's kugel, but it was very delicious and won kudos at the luncheon.
