Broccoli Kugel
The word "kugel" is German for "ball" and probably refers to the small round pot in which kugels used to be cooked. The pot would be placed inside the chulent pot and left there to cook until served on Shabbos. Eventually kugels were baked separately in larger pans, in the same form that we now know them.
Everyone loves this broccoli kugel for it's ease and simplicity.
This recipe is famous, but it's a little old school, to make my new modern Broccoli Kugel 2.0 as featured in the video above check out Broccoli Cauliflower Kugel Cups.
