Onion, Feta, And Zaatar Egg Noodle Kugel - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups wide egg noodles (dry measurement about half bag, use whole bag if doubling)
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces feta cheese (used a nice crumbly Israeli feta, smooth goat cheese works too)
2 eggs
1 onion, chopped (I prefer a rough hand chop for this than a food processor's.)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon za'atar spice mix

Preparation

Cook the noodles according to the package directions, I wouldn't recommend more than 7-8 minutes total. Drain and set aside.
If using a block of feta, run it through your food processor or blender a few times to get it nice and crumbled. If lacking such an appliance, mashing it up with a fork does the trick too. Drain any excess liquid.
Mix everything in a large mixing bowl, then pour into an oiled 8 x 8 square pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes (55-60 minutes if doubling) or until golden browned on top.
