Broccoli Kugel
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.

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.
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.
Let us know how it comes out.
i made this last night and it went over very well. I did double the eggs and mayo and baked it in a 9 x 12 pan. i was not sure if i should cook it for longer that the smaller size, but sort of used my judgment and it looked pretty much done at about an hour and a quarter or so…it was solid..could have left it longer to brown, but didn’t want it to get burned or dried out.
This was enjoyed by a wide range of ages. Easy to make
Substituted garlic powder for cayenne pepper
I made this for shabbos and it came out great!
Broccoli and kugel – what’s not to love and easy to have on hand ingredients – cannot wait to make!! Thanks for the recipe!!
I plan to make the 9×13 kugel. May I substitute egg beaters for the extra 4 eggs?
this was a big hit. i also substituted garlic powder for the cayenne. thanks for a new way to serve vegetables.
