Though some prefer their noodle kugels without any additional toppings, as they enjoy the traditional crispy top of the kugel, consisting of lokshen noodle poking through the surface of the kugel and getting crispy through the baking process., Manymany also prefer their noodle kugel to be topped with a variety of toppings including various crushed cereals such as [[cornflakes]], [[frosted flakes]], among others. Crushed graham crackers are a popular topping as well, and with a sweet cheese noodle kugel it creates an effect similar to a [[New York cheesecake]]. A [[streusel]] or crumb topping was first popularized by the [[German Jews]], and remains popular to this day and is reminiscent of a [[crumb cake]]. Sometimes [[Nilla Wafers]] or similar vanilla wafers, as well as [[gingersnaps]], [[Oreos]], and other similarly crisp cookies are crumbled and used as a topping. Some, especially Jews in the American South, top their noodle kugels with pecan pralines. Savory noodle kugels are often topped with [[breadcrumbs]], similar to a [[macaroni and cheese]].<ref name="The Encyclopedia of Jewish Food" />
