How to Make Czech Style Farmer Cheese Bacon Noodle Bake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook 8 oz egg noodles according to package directions. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water, drain again, and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the farmer cheese mixture (see below).
4. In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine 16 oz farmer cheese, 1/3 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, salt, and pepper to taste. Pass the farmer cheese through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture (optional).
5. In a skillet, cook 4 slices diced bacon and 1/2 medium diced onion until the bacon is crispy. Drain off excess grease.
6. Add the crispy bacon and onion to the noodle and farmer cheese mixture. Stir to combine.
7. Grease a deep (approximately 9x13 inch) ovenproof dish with butter.
8. Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish.
9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup sour cream and 2 large eggs.
10. Pour the egg and sour cream mixture evenly over the noodle mixture in the baking dish.
11. Lightly dust the top with paprika.
12. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is heated through. Use a knife inserted into the center to check for doneness.
13. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
