Individual Noodle KugelsIndividual Noodle Kugels

 

In my last post, I started out the week of Hanukkah with an offering of bite sized Potato Pancakes or latkes, perfect for serving as a tray passed hors d’oeuvre. In this post, I’m ending the week of Hanukkah with another possible favorite dish of your Bubbe’s, served in individual portions.

 

Now it’s true that I didn’t have a Bubbe, but as a young woman, I lived in New York City. My first apartment was on the Upper West Side, just a block and a half away from the Fairway Produce Market. The store was a delight for me to browse, with big barrels of pickles and all sorts of exotic (to me, anyway) deli items. It didn’t take long before I discovered a wonderful new treat- Noodle Pudding (aka Noodle Kugel). I had grown up eating lots of my New Orleans’ grandmother’s bread pudding, and even the occasional rice pudding, but noodle pudding? This was a whole new world. It wasn’t long, though, before Noodle Kugel became a favorite treat of mine.

 

The good news for parties is, that Noodle Kugel can easily be made in individual portions. They can either be tray passed, or served as a selection on a “small plates” buffet (along with demi-tasse spoons) which have become so popular. All you need is a collection of porcelain ramekins or small bowls to bake the kugels in. The BIA bowls I used are available at finer kitchen supply stores, and even upscale grocery stores. For the Noodle Kugel recipe, just continue to the next page…

  2. Hmmm, never thought to make kugel in single servings. But for Jews, you might have to allot for two kugels each. 😛

    P.S. Recipe is similar to mine but I leave out the sour cream and cottage cheese (yeah, the good parts).
