As you all know, I grew up in Minnesota. And, while I'm not Jewish, there was a large Jewish community near my hometown, so I got to enjoy all sorts of scrumptious Jewish foods: Hamantaschen, pastrami, salami, real bagels and bialy, chocolate whipped cream cake...little did I know how spoiled I was. In fact, every time I go to Minnesota, I visit Cecil's Deli in St. Paul and order a grilled salami on a Kasier roll with raw onion and special sauce and a side of cole slaw. Ahh...nothing like it.
Kugel is a breakfast pasta dish with Jewish origins. No matter your faith, you should give it a try. It's outstanding. This recipe, is courtesy of the Junior League of Northern Virginia.
Apple Kugel
1/2 lb flat egg noodles, cooked
4 large eggs
8 oz ricotta cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
3 apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 tsp cinnamon sugar
Preheat oven to 375. Combine first 6 ingredients, tossing gently. Spoon into a breasted 2 quart baking dish. Place apple slices on top and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 375 for 1 hour.
Cinnamon Sugar: Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp cinnamon. Store in an air tight container. In addition to this recipe, it's delicious sprinkled on buttered toast (inspiration for Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal).
