  • 8 ounces extra-wide egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 16-ounces low-fat cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs

Preparation

Step 1

With half the usual calories and carbs, and just 1/3 of the usual fat, this sweet-style kugel is a wonderful addition to any brunch.

Makes 12 servings

2/3 cup no-calorie sweetener (or 1/3 cup sugar-blend like all natural Truvia Baking Blend)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Cook the noodles for one minute less than the minimum cooking time on the package directions. Drain the noodles well, return to the pot, add the margarine, and stir to coat. Set aside. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside.

3. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla in a blender, or a large bowl for an immersion blender, and process until almost smooth. If needed, transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the sour cream, add the noodles, and stir again. Gently fold in the egg whites.

4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface. Bake for 35 minutes, or until set.
