60 minThis traditional lokshen kugel transforms egg noodles into a custardy pudding sweetened with apple juice and studded with plump raisins.
Warm nutmeg perfumes the whole dish while walnuts scattered over the top toast as it bakes, adding crunch to the creamy interior.
It’s equally at home on the dessert table or served as a slightly sweet side dish at holiday dinners.
Chef Tips
- Use broad egg noodles for the most authentic texture
- Beat eggs and sugar until very fluffy for a lighter, more soufflé-like kugel
- Don’t skip the nutmeg; it’s the signature warmth in every bite
- Serve warm from the oven or at room temperature; both are traditional
