As we approach the joyous celebration of Hanukkah, it’s essential to embrace the tradition with delicious food. While some may feel overwhelmed by the early onset of festivities—especially after indulging in Thanksgiving turkey—it’s time to shift focus from gift-giving to the kitchen. If you’re feeling the pressure from excited children counting down the days until Hanukkah (and coincidentally, Evan’s birthday), fear not. I’m here to provide you with a delightful kugel recipe that is sure to impress your family and guests.

Before diving into the recipe, it’s worth noting that while some traditional Jewish dishes like gefilte fish and chopped liver may not appeal to everyone, there are universal favorites that transcend cultural boundaries. Dishes like matzo ball soup, potato latkes, and freshly baked challah are must-tries for anyone, regardless of their background. If you’re unfamiliar with these culinary gems, it’s time to explore!

Kugel, a sweet noodle pudding, may leave some non-Jewish individuals puzzled about its identity as a side dish rather than a dessert. However, those who have tried my kugel recipe consistently remark that it’s the best they’ve ever tasted. I encourage you to give it a try; I am confident you will become a fan too.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1 pint Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 stick melted butter
  • ½ lb cottage cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • Graham cracker crumbs for topping

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, except for the graham cracker crumbs.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
  4. Evenly sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top.
  5. Bake for approximately one hour, or until the kugel is bubbly and golden brown on top.

While the presentation may not be extravagant, the flavor will undoubtedly be a hit at your Hanukkah table.

As you prepare to celebrate, remember that cooking can also be a bonding experience for families.
