Kasespatzle Recipe

Kasespatzle Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Spätzle

   In a large bowl, mix the flour, eggs, milk, and salt until a smooth batter forms. It should be thick but pourable.

2. 2

   Cook the Spätzle

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a Spätzle maker or a colander, push the batter through to form small dumplings into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Bacon and Onions

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside. In the bacon fat, add sliced onions and caramelize until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Make the Cheese Sauce

   In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Gruyère cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Season with black pepper and nutmeg to taste.

5. 5

   Combine Everything

   Mix the cooked Spätzle with the cheese sauce, then add the crispy bacon and caramelized onions. Stir well to combine.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese or crispy bacon if desired.
