How to Make Apricot Noodle Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  2. Cook 1 pound flat egg noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water for 7-8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain well and gently spoon noodles into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 3 large eggs, 1 cup apricot nectar, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups quartered fresh apricots (or 2 (15 ounce) cans, drained) into the custard mixture. Pour the custard evenly over the noodles in the baking dish.
  5. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the kugel is set, golden brown on top, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving warm or cold. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
