Delicious, easy and a very flexible recipe. Did not have matzo meal and used plain flour, it came out fine and I liked the use of herbs in the kugel. Thanks for posting

A totally delicious kugel! I was a bit approximate with my ingredients - I'm so much more comfortable with recipes where I don't have to be exact! - and I added two leeks and a few additional favourite herbs but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Loved the versatility - the room to make it differently each time I make it - the wonderfully healthy ingredients, the low fat content and the fact that we could enjoy some now and freeze some to enjoy on other occasions. Thank you for sharing this super recipe, mikekey! Made for PRMR.

Adding my kudos, Mike. A lovely dish that could also be the mainstay of a weeknight meal with some crusty bread. Thnx so much for posting it, Mike! It was thoroughly enjoyed!
