Frozen spinach can be a convenience in a dish like this, but who still uses canned mushrooms when real mushrooms are in every super market, and even more flavorful ones are not hard to find?
What can I use in lieu of the mayo?
Hi Jeff — I am a little mushroom obsessed. I love everything from oyster to black truffles, shiitake to cremini and on and on and on. But honestly I do also like canned mushrooms, especially on pizza shop pizza. Kinda the same way I LOVE boxed mac n cheese — aint’ nothin like that powdered neon orange “cheese.” So you can go ahead and use your fave fresh mushrooms and saute them before adding to the kugel but some of us including my step-mom-in-law, who gave me this recipe – still use the canned here and there and do like them.
Sabrina – there is soy mayo on the market which could work — otherwise you could try using 4 to 5 large eggs total, whip the whites and then combine all yolks, whites etc just like the recipe calls for, you may need some extra s&p to taste. I haven’t tried this but should work.
What about a substitute for soup powder? Dried onion, soy sauce, anything else?
Yes, we got you covered with our homemade onion soup mix – http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipe/homemade-healthy-onion-soup-mix/
Thanks Tamar. I checked back in after I’d already put the thing in the oven, but I will be trying your onion soup mix. This is always an issue! So many good recipes call for it…
I make these as muffins and freeze them for my kids to take out whenever they want a snack. They are delicious! I also grease my muffin tins with a spray of oil and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs. The final product is delicious and crispy on the underside.
I made this with fresh mushrooms a mix of wild ones, sauteed them with garlic first and then followed the recipe. I loved the idea of a vegetable filled kugel, but it was not a big hit. I liked it, but not enough to eat the leftovers and the rest of the family were not big fans.
