Some noodle kugels are sweet, and some are savory. This one is on the sweeter side but not super sweet. Kugel is usually served with the main course, though the sweeter ones would be appropriate for dessert. In this kugel recipe, the flavor is eggy with notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and orange, and the contrast between the dense but soft interior and the top layers of crunchy browned egg noodles, which have crisped up in the oven is fantastic.
