Ingredients
- ½ cup softened butter
- ½ cup sugar (or a little less)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 package egg noodles (10-14 oz)
Topping
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups corn flakes or bran flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375℉ degrees and spray a 9x13 pan with baking spray. Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the noodles using the lower end of the recommended cooking time as a guide.
- While the noodles are boiling, cream together the butter and sugar in a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer. Once the butter and sugar are creamed together, add in the eggs, and beat well. Then add in the cottage cheese, sour cream, and vanilla. Set aside while the noodles finish cooking.
- Once the noodles are done cooking, drain well and rinse with cool water. Add the noodles into the custard mixture and mix well with a spatula. Then transfer the whole mixture into your prepared pan.
- Make the topping by mixing the topping ingredients together in a bowl, then spread over the custard and noodle mixture.
- Bake at 375℉ degrees until set and golden brown about 35-45 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving and then enjoy!
Notes
To make ahead and freeze: Once cooked, wrap well in plastic wrap and then cover with foil. Pop it into the freezer for up to a month. When ready to serve, let defrost on the counter for a bit and then rewarm in a 325 degree oven with the foil still on.
