I have not made this, but had to share. Can you imagine a kugel topped with crumbled pralines?!? Yum, yum! This is adapted from Southern Living magazine, and they adapted it from Kosher Southern Style Cookbook by Mildred Covert. If you don't happen to have any leftover pralines lying around, you may used chopped candied pecans instead. Prep time includes cooking time for the noodles, as well as a 10 minute resting time for the baked casserole.

3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese or 1 (8 ounce) package neufchatel cheese, softened to room temperature

1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) package wide egg noodles, cooked without salt or 1 (8 ounce) package fat, drained
4 pecan pralines, finely crumbled or 2 -3 tablespoons chopped candied pecans
Directions:
