I was at someones house for shabbos and she made a vegetable kugel with 3 layers. I think it was broccoli carrot and califlower. Does anyone have this recipe?

I sautee a ton of onions and mix the onions, onion soup mix, eggs, mayonaisse, salt and pepper, baking powder, and flour into each layer.

Pour whatever layer you want into the pan, and put it into the oven at 350 until the layer sets. Repeat with the rest of the layers.

That recipe is in the Kosher Pallete- I would def add a sauteed onion and onion soup mix as well though because the few times I have had this by other ppl it kinda falls short in the flavor department- although it sure does look pretty!

it looks and freeze nicely, but it's a lot of work. I usually make just one layer and serve it like that.

Me too. I've made it a couple of times, but it's just not worth all the work that goes into it.

Vegetable Kugel, Tricolor (P, KLP, TNT)
Source: "Mavens in the Kitchen," Vaad HaKashrus of Tidewater
Serves: 12 or more (2 loaves)
1 (12 oz.) package frozen cauliflower
1 (12 oz.) package frozen broccoli
1 (12 oz.) package frozen carrots
9 eggs (the original poster said that she used 6, so I did as well)
4-1/2 tablespoons onion soup mix
1-1/2 cups mayonnaise

Cook the cauliflower (I used microwave). Mash. Mix with one third of the eggs, mayonnaise, and soup mix powder.

Pour half into the bottom of each loaf pan (I lined with parchment paper) and bake for 20 minutes in a 350°F oven.

Follow the same directions for the carrots, pouring over the cauliflower and baking for an additional 20 minutes.

Do the same with the broccoli.

Remove from pan once cooled and slice into beautiful, tri-colored slices.
