I was looking for a Savory Kugel to serve on Jewish holidays, and this was great. I used more noodles than called for but kept the other proportions. Next time I will toast the bread crumbs a little bit in a sauce pan beforehand. They did not get dark in the oven. Everyone enjoyed this recipe and I will make it again!

This is a great Kugel. I've used it at countless holidays--Thanksgiving and Passover time in particular. The Gruyere isn't exactly Kosher, but whatever. I don't mind. I guess I could try to find a replacement, but I'll live. It's not like I can live without bacon. I really like the final product, and, especially at Thanksgiving, people don't even know where this dish originates. I've sometimes used cream cheese instead of cottage cheese, but I like both.

Can this be made in advance and FROZEN? Or, how many days in advance can it be made, baked or not baked and kept in the fridge? Thank you, B

I grew up with something like this, although probably without the cheese. I married into a family where noodle kugel had whipping cream, strawberries, pineapple.... and was delicious. I've been looking for a recipe that is uncompromisingly savory -- to introduce yet another musical, by George you did it!

No mashed potatoes? Heresy! However, as a lover of starchy foods in all their permutations (especially when combined with cheesy goodness), this looks fantastic.

Thanks lastnightsdinner, to be honest, as I said below, I have been know to serve both on Turkey day.

This sounds great. I'm not a big fan of sweet kugel. I think I will make this over the weekend after Thanksgiving to enjoy with the leftovers! Fewer people to share it with that way.

Thanks healthierkitchen, I can tell you I am going to enjoy it tonight with roast chicken and I can't wait.

I would so love to serve this at Thanksgiving in place of mashed potatoes, but sadly certain members of my family would go into a deep funk if there were no mashed potatoes on the table on turkey day.

I may just attempt that, time permitting. Oddly, my chives are still pumping.

Love this savory version. I'm used to the sweeter version, also good, but this is very appealing!

Thanks. While I will gladly eat the sweet version I am more of a savory kind of person.
