Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • Begin by boiling the noodles in a large pot of water. Follow the package instructions closely, stirring occasionally until they reach a tender consistency. Drain once cooked and set them aside to cool.
  • While waiting on the noodles, carefully peel the pears using a sharp knife, eliminating all skin and any undesirable bits. Slice them thinly and uniformly to perfectly integrate into the kugel.
  • In a sizable mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together eggs (or flax eggs as a vegan choice), maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, plus a pinch of salt. This mixture will form a creamy base for the kugel.
  • Carefully and gradually, fold the cooled noodles into the custard mixture, followed by the sliced pears. Stir gently to ensure even distribution. Add optional nuts or raisins now if desired, for extra crunch.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the kugel mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and drizzle some melted coconut oil over the top. Let it bake for about 45 minutes, until you see a golden, slightly crispy top.
  • When finished baking, remove from the oven and let it stand briefly before slicing. This lets the flavors blend delightfully. Serve and savor every comforting bite!
