Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) sour cream
  • 1 1/4 cups (12 oz.) cottage cheese
  • 8 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 8 oz. wide egg noodles
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 large yellow onion, minced

Preparation

Step 1

4 eggs, lightly beaten

Heat oven to 350°. Whisk sour cream, cottage cheese, 6 tbsp. butter, and eggs in a bowl; set aside. Bring a 4-qt. pot of salted water to a boil; cook noodles until al dente. Drain; stir into cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining butter in a 12″ cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onions; cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Stir in noodles, and bake until browned, 35–40 minutes.



An excellent lasagna-style cheese mixture by adding a dollop of ricotta.
