  • Cooked ProTEGO® noodles — ½ lb (227 g)

  • 2 eggs (~100 g without shells)

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (225 g)

  • ¼ cup white sugar (50 g)

  • ¼ cup golden raisins, optional (~37–38 g)

  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs (55 g)

  • ½ tsp cinnamon (1.25 g)

  • ½ tsp brown sugar (2 g)

  • 2½ tbsp melted butter (~35–36 g)

  • ½ tbsp butter for topping (~7 g)

Preparation


Step 1 — Cook the noodles

Cook ~95 g dry ProTEGO® noodles according to your normal method. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain very thoroughly, then weigh out 227 g cooked noodles. Use scissors to cut the noodles into 3–5 cm pieces.


Step 2 — Prepare the wet mixture

In a large bowl, add the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, white sugar and golden raisins (if using). Mix well until combined.


Step 3 — Combine and rest

Add the 227 g cooked ProTEGO® noodles to the wet mixture and mix until evenly distributed. Keep aside for 5 minutes.


Step 4 — Prepare the topping

In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cinnamon, brown sugar and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.


Step 5 — Assemble

Grease a baking dish. Pour in the noodle mixture and spread evenly. Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping over the top and dot with the remaining butter.


Step 6 — Bake

Bake at 175°C / 350°F for 40–50 minutes, uncovered, until the centre is set and the top is golden.


Step 7 — Serve

Allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut into portions and serve.


Note: The raisins are optional. This recipe serves 6 people as a dessert to share (moderate portions).
