Cinnamon Streusel Noodle Kugel

Servings: 12

Kugel:

• 12 oz extra-wide egg noodles

• 4 eggs

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 8 oz sour cream

• 16 oz half + half

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 1 ¼ teaspoon salt

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Streusel:

• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• 1 ¼ cup flour

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 stick unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes/squares

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325. Well grease a 9x13 baking dish, and set aside for later.

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, and add noodles. Boil for 6-8 minutes. Once fully cooked, drain well.

3. While noodles are boiling, whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add sour cream and softened cream cheese; whisk until fully combined. Add half + half, sugar, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon; whisking until completely smooth.

4. Spread the cooked noodles into prepared baking dish, and pour the custard mixture over the top. Cover the baking dish with tin foil, and bake for 35 minutes.

5. While noodles are baking, combine brown sugar, flower, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl. Cut butter into small cubes/slices, and rub into dry mixture with fingertips until you have a crumbly mixture.

6. Remove the noodles from the oven and discard the foil (the custard should be just set). Sprinkle the streusel over the noodles and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes (the streusel should be crisp).

7. Let cool for 20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve!
