Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.

In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks, 0.5 cup sugar, and cream cheese. Stir into noodles, then add sour cream, cottage cheese, and salt.

For the topping, combine 4 tbsp melted butter, 0.25 cup sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a small bowl. Spread over the noodle mixture.

Bake until the casserole is set with a beautiful golden brown crust on top, about 1 hour.
