Thinly slice 2 yellow onions.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook until caramelized, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.

In the same skillet, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter over medium heat until browned, about 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly.

Let the brown butter cool slightly before adding it to a blender.

In the blender, combine the brown butter, 1 cup of sour cream, 2 cups of cottage cheese, 6 eggs, and 1.5 tablespoons of salt; blend until smooth.

In a pot of boiling salted water, cook 12 ounces of egg noodles until just al dente; drain.

In a large bowl, combine the drained egg noodles, the egg mixture, the caramelized onions, and 2 tablespoons of mint and 1 tablespoon of minced thyme; stir to combine.

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 baking dish.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for about 45 minutes until golden and set.
