- Add the cooked egg noodles to the cheese mixture and stir until well combined.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the remaining olive oil, then pour the noodle mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the kugel to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
