2 lbs full-fat cottage cheese, creamed or large curd
1 cup unsalted butter or margarine, melted
2 tsp vanilla
Dash of salt
2 cups canned cherry pie filling (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Parboil the noodles (five to seven minutes).
In a very large bowl beat eggs until fluffy. Add the sugar gradually, then the cottage cheese, margarine or butter and vanilla. Stir in the drained noodles.
Pour into a 9×13” pan.
Bake for 1½ hours, or until kugel is set.
If using the cherry pie filling as a topping, pour it over at the one-hour mark, then bake it for an additional 30 minutes.
