Kugel Muffins
Classic Jewish comfort food takes a fun-size turn in this creative recipe for kugel. As these sweet-and-savory noodle casseroles bake in their individual cups, the flavors meld together. Orange marmalade brightens the richness, providing tangy sour notes to complement the sweetness, while dried currants add texture and depth.
