Say Cheese and Noodles!

Cheesy Kugel

My version of a dairy, cheesy, yummy and sweet kugel has just about everything in it but the kitchen sink. I love the sweet and creamy flavor of a cheese blintz so I combined a bunch of dairy products with some delicious fruit and this is what I came up with. 

Once you gather all the ingredients this is an easy dish to prepare, great to make ahead,  even better as leftovers, and it freezes great too. 

Topping:

1 cup crushed corn flake crumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Ingredients: 

8 ounces cream cheese softened

1/4 cup butter softened

16 ounces sour cream

16 ounces cottage cheese

3 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon cinnamon powder

1 can crushed pineapple drained

1 cup golden raisins soft

1 granny smith apple peeled and diced 1/2" pieces

1 1/2 bags wide egg noodles 18 ounces total

Preheat oven to 350 degreese.

Soften cream cheese and butter in microwave for 1 minute at 50% power, or leave them out so they come to room temperature

Add the sour cream, cottage cheese, sugar...

...cinnamon, eggs, raisins, pineapple,and apple cubes. Mix together.

Mix in the cooked noodles.

In a separate bowl mix together the topping ingredients.

Pour the noodle mixture in a greased 9"x 15' baking dish. Sprinkle on the topping.

Bake for 50 minutes.

Let cool then cut it up.

Corn flake topping should turn golden brown.

Enjoy!!
