Instructions

Cook Noodles: Boil 12 oz wide egg noodles per package until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain well, then rinse with cold water to prevent sticking; set aside.
Prepare Custard Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 16 oz cottage cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, 0.25 cup melted butter, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and 0.5 tsp cinnamon until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Combine and Bake: Gently fold the drained noodles into the custard mixture until fully coated. Pour into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Bake to Golden: Bake at 350(degree)F (175(degree)C) for 45-55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center feels firm to the touch.
Rest and Serve: Let the noodle pudding cool for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack before serving for easier slicing.

Notes

Prep noodle mixture the night before for convenience. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness; bake until just set and golden. Ensure noodles are fully drained to avoid a watery kugel. For healthier eating, use organic dairy or whole wheat egg noodles; top with fresh berries after baking.
