Instructions
1
Cook and Drain Noodles
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook them until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the noodles and toss them with some melted butter, then set them aside.
2
Preheat oven and grease
While the noodles are cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish with butter.
3
Whisk Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and cottage cheese until smooth. Stir in the Parmesan, chopped onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
4
Fold Noodles Gently
Add the buttered noodles to the bowl and gently fold everything together so the noodles are nicely coated with the creamy mixture.
5
Bake the casserole
Pour the mixture into your prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until it’s heated through and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
