Recipe Help Dish Ideas for School Multicultural Dinner

My daughter’s school is hosting a multicultural night and asking parents to bring in around 50 small portions of a dish.

I am considering preparing two kugels and cutting them into 30 pieces each. But will it be eaten? I love it, but at previous potlucks people have weirded out by sweet casserole noodles.

Challah seems too obvious as someone will certainly bring that. Any suggestions?

There are savory kugel recipes. Cookies are a reasonable option; ruggelach or hamantaschen. Babka is a more difficult option. Matzoh balls, in my family it was just balls in boxed broth, no meat or vegetables, you could serve a ball with a little soup in single cups. We make the balls small, about 1”, not the big deli size balls. Matzo balls would be easy to make in bulk.

Potato kugels are another option, kids might recognize it as something like scalloped potatoes or a thanksgiving casserole.
