Recipe

Broccoli Kugel

The word "kugel" is German for "ball" and probably refers to the small round pot in which kugels used to be cooked. The pot would be placed inside the chulent pot and left there to cook until served on Shabbos. Eventually kugels were baked separately in larger pans.

  • Prep Time : 5 min min
  • Ready Time : 5 min

Servings

8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 (2-pound) bag frozen chopped broccoli cuts, thawed and drained
  • 1 cup light mayonnaise
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Liberally grease a 9-inch round baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl place broccoli, mayonnaise, eggs, salt, black and cayenne peppers and mix well.

    I made this recently, and although the consistency is good, it is waaay too salty–I had to throw most of it out.

      hi – am so sorry — was a typo! changing this now from 1TBS to 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

    Also just wanted to let everyone know I make this all the time in a 9×13 by simply doubling only the mayo and eggs all other measurements stay the same. If the top is browning too quickly cover loosely with foil.

  3. When I read this recipe I was thinking it might be good with cream cheese or herbed goat cheese. Or maybe both? And topped with those french fried onions….. Good Shavuot recipe.
