Rich, golden, and gently sweet, this Date and Honey Kugel combines chewy egg noodles with soft dates and a creamy custard base. A comforting, holiday-worthy twist on a traditional favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Wide Egg Noodles
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Chopped Dates, pitted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9-inch round baking dish.
  2. Cook noodles until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sour cream, honey, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add noodles to the custard and fold gently to coat.
  5. Stir in chopped dates and mix evenly.
  6. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, then cover with foil and bake an additional 20–25 minutes until set and golden.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes to crisp the top. Let cool 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for best flavor and texture.
  • Let kugel rest before slicing to hold its shape.
  • For dairy-free, use plant-based milk, sour cream, and butter substitutes.
  • Top with crushed cornflakes before baking for added crunch.
