This savory pudding brings comfort home for Friday nights. :) Individual sized portions make serving a cinch. Great for company-style meals or maybe a luncheon! Country Living Magazine. UPDATE: 10/22/2009 - we made this the other evening with low-fat cream cheese and sour cream & I increased the cheddar cheese to 2 1/4 cups with a bit of sharp-cheddar thrown in. :) Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt |
1 small carrot, grated |
2 cups small broccoli florets |
10 ounces medium egg noodles |
2 yellow onions, grated (about 1 1/4 lbs) |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
8 ounces sour cream |
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated (use mild if desired) |
4 large eggs, beaten |
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 tablespoon unsalted margarine or 1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 ºF.
2. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
4. Add the salt and the carrot and cook for 1 minute.
5. Add broccoli and cook 1 more minute, transfer vegetables to ice water, let cool, and drain.
6. Bring the pot of water back to a rolling boil, add the noodles, and cook for 8 minutes.
7. Strain and cool under cold running water.
8. Combine the remaining ingredients, except 1/2 cup cheddar, in a large bowl; add the broccoli, carrots, and noodles, and gently toss.
9. Pour the noodle mixture into a 3-quart casserole or eight 8-ounce dishes; top with the remaining cheese.
10. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
11. Uncover the pudding and continue to bake for 20 more minutes.
