Cooking Tips

• Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated squash before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will prevent the kugel from becoming too watery.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg according to your taste preferences.
• For a sweeter version of the kugel, you can add a tablespoon or two of brown sugar to the mixture.
• Leftover kugel can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
