Pidgie's Famous Graham Cracker Crust Noodle Kugel

Perfect to Break the Yom Kippur Fast!

September 26, 2014

One of our family traditions is to break the fast with bagels, lox, and all kinds of yummy kugels (noodle puddings). It always cracked me up that we would fast all day and then feast on the most fattening kugels. Heart-healthy this recipe is not: 10 eggs, sour cream, butter. Oy Vey! But, it is truly one of the most delicious things you will ever eat. And it's worth the once-a-year treat.

This year, my teenaged kids have pledged to do their first fast, and I am betting that they won't make it past lunchtime!! Here is some information about Yom Kippur, as well as seven steps to an easy fast.  

Ingredients

1 lb. fine egg noodles cooked & drained

3/4 lb. melted butter

1 lb. creamed cottage cheese

1 pint sour cream

1 tsp. vanilla

10 eggs

3/4 cup of sugar

Graham cracker crumbs

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix all of the ingredients except graham cracker crumbs with half of the melted butter. Put into a well-greased 14x10x3 inch baking pan.

Cover with graham cracker crumbs & drizzle remaining butter on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Serves 12.
