I looked at several Kugel recipes before choosing this one, noting that many used fewer Noodles while calling for 6 eggs. Therefore I used 8 eggs vs the 5 called for in the recipe. To cut down on calories I used Sweet-N-Low vs the half cup of sugar. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly....except for the Corn Flakes topping. I improvised with the "Cinnamon Crunch" cereal I had on hand and the results were magnificent! It was a big hit with native Texas friends who'd never heard of a Kugel, and I will be making it again for a "Pot Luck" gathering a few weeks hence. Many Thanks!
