Cabbage and Onion Noodle Kugel

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (170g) whole-wheat egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup (59ml) olive oil, divided
  • 2 pounds (900g) green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup (176g) plain 0% Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (35g) panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, grated

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC). Lightly coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Cook the noodles according to package directions; drain.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and onions; cover and cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, salt, pepper and eggs. Fold in noodles and cabbage mixture. Spoon into the prepared baking dish.

In a small bowl, toss together panko, parsley, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle evenly over noodle mixture. Bake until filling is set and topping is crisp, about 30 minutes.
