The corn salsa is delicious both on its own and when added to burritos and fajitas. This recipe was something I whipped together quickly for a birthday celebration with a Mexican theme, and it was a huge hit!

Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil, divided
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in egg noodles and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking and stirring until onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer onion to a large bowl.
- Stir cooked noodles, beaten eggs, remaining vegetable oil, salt, and pepper into onion in the bowl. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 35 minutes.

Reviews
Mom made this with chicken fat, instead of oil or butter. I still make it once in awhile side dish to roast chicken because of cholesterol. I’m not Jewish, but love it. Chicken fat is on Amazon.
savory is the greatest!!
I used butter instead of oil and that is the only change I made. This came out much better than I had anticipated. The noodles on top get nice and crispy and are delicious. I do recommend using butter for more flavor. Simple and delicious!
I was looking for a dairy-free kugel recipe, as I didn’t have any of the cottage cheese or cream cheese on hand that most kugel recipes seem to call for, and I came across this. I think it baked for 5 minutes too long, as the top was a little crispier than I would have liked, so next time I will reduce the cooking time or cover it until the last 5 minutes. I was afraid it would be dry, so I added an extra egg and 1 T sour cream. The flavor of the browned onions really shone; I might increase those next time. Good, simple side dish, and a great way to use up leftover egg noodles!
This is a great recipe for a simple side dish. I added some fresh garlic to the onions to give it a bit more flavor, and that was nice. It also seems like an easily altered recipe for any additional flavors like meats, cheeses, and/or vegetables.
