Käsespätzle Recipe

Käsespätzle Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Spätzle Dough

   In a large bowl, mix together the flour, eggs, milk, and salt until a smooth batter forms. The consistency 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, press the dough through the holes into the boiling water. Cook until the Spätzle float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Onions

   In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   Combine Cheese and Spätzle

   In the same skillet, add the cooked Spätzle and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese and season with black pepper. Cook over low heat until the cheese melts and everything is well combined.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the Käsespätzle to a serving dish, top with sautéed onions, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with a side salad.
