Coconut Kugel is a delightful dessert dish that originated in the Jewish cuisine. This dessert is typically served on Shabbat or Jewish holidays, such as Passover, Rosh Hashanah, or Hanukkah. The dish consists of fine egg noodles, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut, and is baked in the oven until golden brown. The result is an indulgent and creamy dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3.	Beat eggs in a bowl until smooth. Add milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter; whisk until the mixture is evenly combined. Pour over the noodles in the baking dish and sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
4.	Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown.
5.	Serve hot or cold, as desired.
