In muffin papers? or w/ out? |
I use silicone muffin cups and don't have a problem. Sometimes I do flip them out of the cups frozen, but I don't know how much of a difference it makes.

I would. I make broccoli "kugel" exactly like that and it freezes fine.

| I make a similar zuchinni kugel - I want to know if perhaps it's better to freeze it before baking?

Not zucchini that has been cooked in water. The kugel is going to be seeping in water.

| Thanks ra_mom. I actually make my zuchinni kugel with fried onions and zuchinni, (sometimes I add mushroom). So I guess that would be ok to freeze before it has been baked?

You probably will have to bake it a bit longer than usual once it comes out of the freezer.
