For an elegant presentation twist divide the batter among jumbo muffin tins that have been greased with cooking spray and bake as directed.
Make sure to use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!
Salt & Pepper Kugel with Roasted Garlic
Servings
10 Servings
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 10 cloves garlic peeled
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 16-ounce package fine egg noodles
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Place garlic in the baking dish in a single layer and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes, until garlic is soft. Remove garlic from the oven, mash and set aside. Raise the oven temperature 350°F.
- Meanwhile boil egg noodles until just tender. Drain and toss with oil and set aside.
- In a large bowl lightly beat eggs with salt, black pepper, and cayenne if desired. Stir in garlic, followed by noodle mixture until well combined. Spoon into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour.
May I ask, does the egg just work as a glue to hold the noodles together, or do these delicious-looking little rigs taste like egg?
You can freeze them and then thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Can you freeze these? How would you heat them up for the meal – defrost first, or put in the oven frozen?

A few weeks ago, you and Shifra were making Chicken Roll Ups with a pareve Pesto. Where can I find the recipe?

thanks for sharing this great tip!
Is there a potato version of this?
That could be really wicked!! 🙂
in jumbo muffin tins should take about 30 to 45 minutes. enJOY
If u line the pan with a parchment paper and put water under the parchment paper your kugel will be so soft !!!!
how long would you bake this if you use muffin cups instead of a 9×13 pan?
ahh so sorry Karen! will fix now — a 9 x 13 will give you 9 – hearty! pieces or 12 nice servings.
Looks so delicious. Too bad it doesn’t say how many it serves. I need this TODAY to plan for our Seder on Friday. Anybody?
This will be a sure fire hit, I make this kugel in a large pyrex all the time, but never thought to add the garlic or cayenne pepper. We already love potato kugel cups, this will be our new “kugel muffin” for the holidays (of course we will also have potato kugel muffins and squash kugel muffins.)
Kids love finger food! Even the “big” kids!
I love roasted garlic – this recipe will be a hit I just know it. I might add some sauteed leeks as well for a little color and substance.
