Servings: persons

1 pound wide egg noodles
3/4 cup (4 ounces) dried sour cherries, chopped
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole-milk cottage cheese
4 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, beaten
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
3 cups corn flakes, coarsely crushed
1/2 cup pecan halves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Salt

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the egg noodles until al dente. Drain the noodles, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Add the chopped sour cherries to the reserved cooking water and let stand for 5 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, whisk the heavy cream with the cottage cheese, beaten eggs, egg yolks, 3/4 cup of the sugar and the vanilla seeds. Drain the dried cherries and add them to the bowl. Stir in the noodles. Pour the noodle mixture into a 9-by-13-inch ceramic baking dish.
3
In another bowl, toss the crushed corn flakes with the chopped pecans, melted butter, a pinch of salt and the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar. Scatter the corn-flake mixture over the noodles and bake in the center of the oven for about 45 minutes, until the noodle kugel is set and the topping is golden. Transfer the kugel to a rack and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.

Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
