Description

Some say this German side dish is similar to American mac ‘n cheese, but it’s quite different. A spätzle maker is a must to make your life much easier!

Ingredients

  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • ¼ cups Chopped Onions
  • ½ cups Shredded Swiss Cheese

Preparation

In a medium sized bowl, beat eggs and milk together with a fork. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper. Slowly add flour a little at a time and mix with a fork.

Once all of the flour is added, dough should be elastic. Let it stand for 5 minutes while bringing a 3-quart pot filled with water (2/3 full) to boil.

Set your spätzle maker right next to your pot of water. Add dough to your spätzle maker and press it through. Let the dough hang and drop into the water (be patient, it will fall off by itself, no need to cut it off). When noodles rise to the top, they are done. Strain well with a straining spoon and drop into a bowl.

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and saute for 7 minutes.

Add spätzle into the onions and mix to combine. Sprinkle Swiss cheese on top. Stir until all cheese is melted.

My grandmother used to make this to go with pork rouladen. I miss this dish so much, I’ve really got to get me a spatsle slide one of these days.
