Kugel

Kugel is a traditional Jewish baked or boiled dish, originating from Eastern Europe, typically made from eggs, potatoes, or other ingredients like noodles or matzah. It is formed into a rounded shape and baked until golden. Kugel is often served as a side dish during holidays such as Passover and Sabbath. The dish’s flavors can range from sweet—incorporating ingredients like apples, raisins, or cinnamon—to savory with onions, herbs, and vegetables. Its comforting, hearty texture and versatility make it a staple in Jewish cuisine, celebrating cultural heritage and family tradition.
