Ingredients

  • 8 ounces of egg noodles
  • A couple of tablespoons of melted butter, with extra for greasing
  • Four large eggs
  • A generous pint of sour cream
  • One cup of cottage cheese
  • Half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • A quarter cup of grated onion
  • Two tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley
  • A hint of garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to suit your taste

Step 1

Start by bringing a generously salted pot of water to a gentle boil. Cook the egg noodles until they reach that perfect balance of tenderness and firmness, typically around 6 to 8 minutes. Once ready, drain the noodles and give them a delightful toss in some melted butter before setting them aside to soak up the flavors.

Step 2

Now, let's preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) while you generously coat a casserole dish with butter, ensuring nothing sticks when it's time to indulge in your creation.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs, sour cream, and cottage cheese until they form a harmonious blend. Next, introduce Parmesan cheese, onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the mix, blending until all the ingredients are perfectly intertwined. Add the cooked egg noodles and gently toss everything together, making sure each strand is coated in the savory mixture. Transfer this delectable concoction into your prepared casserole dish, ready to be transformed in the oven.

Step 4

Slide your creation into the preheated oven and let it heat through for approximately 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the aromas to fill your kitchen with anticipation.
