Overnight Matzo Bake

This is a Passover-friendly take on a breakfast noodle kugel! We often eat kugel with raisins and cinnamon. I chose to use raisins, dried apples, and dried apricots. Kugels are usually very dense and have a ton of sour cream and cottage cheese/cream cheese in them. I added just a bit of sour cream to keep things a bit lighter.

  • cooking spray

  • 6 matzo sheets

Instructions
    1. Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

    2. Break matzo sheets into bite-sized pieces. Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in raisins, apricots, apples, and matzo pieces. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, smoothing into an even layer.
