Noodle Kugel With Caramelized Onions & Brown Butter
Ingredients
-
1
stick unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
2
yellow onions, thinly sliced
-
2 cups
cottage cheese
-
1 cup
sour cream
-
1 1/2 tablespoons
kosher salt, plus more to taste
-
6
eggs
-
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
12 ounces
wide egg noodles
-
2 tablespoons
minced sage
-
1 teaspoon
minced thyme
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375° F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until softened and lightly caramelized, 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
-
To the skillet, add the butter and cook, stirring often, until browned and nutty in aroma, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a blender and let cool.
-
To the blender, add the cottage cheese, sour cream, salt, eggs and black pepper. Blend until smooth, then add to the large bowl with the onions.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook until al dente, 7 minutes. Drain, then add to the bowl along with the sage and thyme. Toss until well coated.
-
Add the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until golden brown and set, 45 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
