Ingredients

  • 2 cup full-fat sour cream 450 grams
  • 5 extra-large eggs 300 grams
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 30 grams
  • 8 ounce mushrooms sliced (225 grams)
  • 1 small leek rinsed well and finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon white wine or vegetable stock
  • 1 batch Gluten-Free Passover Egg Noodles 6 ounces
  • 10 ounce spinach chopped (if using frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 4 ounce round chevre goat cheese, Cypress Grove preferred
  • 3 or 4 chopped fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch square pan. If using dried homemade or store-bought noodles, parboil, drain, and rinse them in cool water (following the instructions on the package).
  • Whisk together the sour cream and eggs. Heat the olive oil in sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the mushrooms, leek, and garlic and sauté until caramelized. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan.
  • Place a layer of the noodles in the bottom of the buttered pan. Add half of the mushroom mixture. If using frozen and thawed spinach, be sure to wring it dry first. Top with half of the spinach. Top with half of the goat cheese. Pour half of the sour cream mixture over the goat cheese. Repeat the layers and end with the sour cream mixture.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or just until the center is set. Let cool slightly. Top with the chopped chives and serve warm.
