Product Review: Sugar Bowl Bakery Palmiers
Noodle kugel is a dish that’s typically served during Jewish holidays. This Rosh Hashanah why not give this twist on the classic sweet kugel a try? Kugels can be made either sweet or savory and can sometimes be quite decadent. This revamped recipe by Cricket Azima and The Creative Kitchen is lighter with a nice lemony pucker, but still keeps that creamy indulgence you know and love. To make it even better for you and your family, use whole-wheat egg noodles to increase the nutrients and up the fiber content.
Ingredients:
12 oz. whole-wheat wide egg noodles
6 tbsp. honey or agave
6 eggs
1 tbsp. lemon zest
1 cup dried blueberries
2 cups ricotta
8 oz. light cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
¼ tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter
Cooking spray
¼ cup sugar
½ tbsp. cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Soak blueberries in hot water while you prep.
- Fill a large pot two-thirds of the way up with water and bring to a boil. Add noodles and cook until al dente, not too soft. Drain noodles and return to the pot.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, cream cheese, sour cream, butter, honey, lemon zest, and salt. Beat until creamy or blend in blender until smooth.
- Pour egg mixture into pot with noodles and stir to combine.
- Drain and dry off blueberries onto a paper towel. Then stir them into the pot with noodles and egg mixture.
- Spray a medium casserole dish with vegetable oil spray until well coated. Pour noodles and egg mixture into the dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the top of the noodles until well covered.
- Bake in oven for 45-60 minutes until fully set and golden brown.
Tips & Tricks:
Can’t find dried blueberries? Use dried cranberries or raisins instead! They’ll lend the same great sweetness as the blueberries with a slightly different flavor.
To save time on the day of your dinner, make this dish ahead. It’s great served warm, at room temperature, or cold!
