Ingredients (serves 8):
- 1 pound egg noodles
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
Cooking Tips:
- Be sure to cook the noodles until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and won't hold up well in the custard.
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches are not available, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the kugel.
- For a richer, creamier kugel, you can substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the whole milk.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
5. Stir in the sour cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
6. Add the cooked egg noodles and sliced peaches to the bowl, and stir gently until well coated.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the kugel.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown and set in the center.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Appearance and Taste:
Peach Kugel is a beautiful golden-brown color with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping. The custard is creamy and rich, with a subtle sweetness that perfectly complements the juicy peaches. The noodles add a satisfying texture to the dish, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion.
