Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free wide egg noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain the noodles and rinse them briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process.

While the noodles are cooking, grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or margarine.
4
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the whisked eggs, crumbled farmer cheese, low-fat sour cream, low-fat milk, salt, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5
Once the noodles are cooled and drained, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the creamy mixture over the noodles and fold in the dried cranberries.
6
Mix well until everything is evenly coated, then pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish.
7
In a small bowl, combine the remaining cinnamon and a pinch of brown sugar. Dust this mixture generously over the top of the noodle bake.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture is set.
9
Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
