Käsespätzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups grated Emmental cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 4 eggs, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Mix until a smooth, thick batter forms.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the batter into the boiling water to form small dumplings. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the spaetzle floats to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a colander to drain.
- In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the cooked spaetzle to the skillet and toss to coat with the butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the spaetzle.
- Add the caramelized onions and 2 cups of grated Emmental cheese to the skillet with the spaetzle. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and the spaetzle is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Käsespätzle hot and enjoy!
