Savory Noodle Kugel with Goat Cheese
This savory take on classic noodle kugel combines buttery egg noodles, rich salted goat cheese, and warm paprika for a dish that’s both comforting and full of flavor. Baked until golden and crispy on top, it’s the perfect balance of creamy and crunchy in every bite.
Ingredients
- 300 g pasta (egg noodles work best)
- 2 eggs
- 100 g butter (melted)
- 200 g salted goat cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in boiling water until slightly undercooked (al dente), as it will continue to cook in the oven. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs separately, then mix in the melted butter, paprika, and optional seasonings.
- Combine everything: Add the pasta and crumbled goat cheese, stirring until fully coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish lined with parchment paper (or a buttered baking dish).
- Bake at 180°C (356°F) for about 30 minutes or until the top forms a crispy golden crust.
- Slice, garnish as desired, and serve warm—best enjoyed with a glass of dry white wine!
