I am vegan and want to use something in place of the eggs. What has worked?
Sure, would be delish.
If serving with dairy meal, can you use sour cream or half and half instead of soy milk? Also I intend to use softened matzah and make it for Passover.
YAY YAY YAY!!! I am so so happy!
Hi Nechama – unfortunately I haven’t found Earth Balance in Israel but you can use (olive) oil! enJOY!
What do you use in Israel? Not sure if I can get earthbalance here… Would oil work?
This recipe has become a staple in my house. So delicious but also easy! Keep up the awesome work!
THANK YOU THANK YOU JUDY!!! So wonderful of you to share the “Shlomie’s Kitchen” product info with all of us!
Just watched your video, looks delish, can’t wait to try. Just wanted to let you know that the brand “Shloimie’s Kitchen” makes MSG-free onion soup mix (as well as other flavor soup mixes) that’s just as tasty as the unhealthier brands…
Thanks I will fix, but in the meantime http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipes/homemade-healthy-onion-soup-mix/
link for homemade onion soup mix not working 🙁
YAY!!! Thanks so happy you liked it!
My third recipe to post is this Kugel recipe. I love this recipe because it does not have a complicated list of ingredients but that does not detract from the flavor and usefulness. I also love the use of spinach. Savory kugels are my favorite and this recipe is a great side dish.
totally hear that!!! just use muffin papers and/or grease really well.
My latest “obsession” is with all things muffin. Can I make these in my muffin pans? Other than adjusting for time, what else needs adjusting?
that could work – even easier though, just bake it off in advance – it stays in the fridge for a few days and/or freezes well!
Can the spinach noodle kugel be set up earlier in the day and then baked later or will it ruin the dish?
for sure re: the nut milk, re: gluten free noodles I assume so – I can’t say that I have ever used them BUT if they work well as a noodle substitute in general then they will work well here.
can you substitute gluten free noodles and a nut milk in place of the soy milk?
either warm or at room temp. as for muffin cups should take about 35 – 45 minutes. if you see top is browning too quickly cover with foil. enJOY!
do you have to serve these warm or can you eat at room tempeature? Could you make the roasted garlic kugel in the muffing cups…would it change the cooking itme
Andres – you just gave me the great idea to add sausage to (the non-dairy version of 🙂 this recipe – LOVE IT!
I just made this and it was delicious! I used 2% milk and butter instead of margarine, and I added some turkey sausage (not kosher I know) and it tasted wonderful!!
oh Holly so happy! This was one of my husband’s favorites from growing up and now in regular rotation at our house…
Made this for Shabbat a few weeks ago and my boys are still talking about it! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is so delicious! It has definitely been added to our family favorites list.
yuparooo onion soup mix is enough – its super flavorful — see my healthy homemade onion soup mix:
http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipes/homemade-healthy-onion-soup-mix/
No spices? Is the soup mix enough?
sure!!! will be beautiful. should be the same baking time – no adjustments necessary — just don’t forget to grease your muffin tins or use muffin papers.
Can I bake this as ‘muffins’? What would I need to change?
Thank you
for sure!
could I use almond milk instead of soy milk
Hi Jennifer, so excited you found our site to help guide you. Just to clarify, the couple does not eat meat or fish, what about chicken?
I just made this and I really like it! I am a private cook and have a new couple who are non meat/kosher fish eaters,I have never cooked Kosher. I am learning a menu for them. Can you advise what to put with spinach noodle kugel (as it’s a side dish) please and any suggestions you may have for their diets. Kind Regards
Sure, make your own – http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipe/homemade-healthy-onion-soup-mix/
Can you give me a substitute for onion soup mix?
Amy – i love you – you are so great!
I hope you put this in your next cookbook – what a great recipe!
I found that this works fine with regular medium egg noodles – don’t need Kluski in particular. Awesome recipe!
2 ounces margarine is about 4 tablespoons
Naomi, you could heat up some oil to use instead of the margarine .
almond or rice milk will work.
I can’t have soy. Can I use something else instead?
I can’t find my recipe but yours sounds very similar to mine, except for soy. What can I substitute it with? Thank you
almond milk or rice milk or the original recipe called for non-dairy creamer.
Can you substitute the soy milk for anything else?
How do you measure 2 oz of margarine if you are using the tub of the Earth Balance?
Is the wide noodles a 12 or 16 ounce bag?
Naomi
I actually use healthy “margarine” called Earth Balance NOT Smart Balance. It’s vegan pareve “butter” that comes in a tub or as sticks. NO dairy, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils etc.. check it out here http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#/products/vegan-sticks/
Is there a healthier way to make this without the margarine?
Great Q – 1 lb bag spinach. Will fix the recipe now.
how big a package of chopped spinach?
this sounds so much simpler than my version, cant wait to try it and save all that time and work
