Spätzle Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Spätzle Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, salt, and nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and thick. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Spätzle

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a Spätzle maker or a colander, press the batter into the boiling water. Cook until the noodles float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3

Sauté the Onions

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Combine and Serve

Add the cooked Spätzle to the skillet with the onions and stir to combine. Add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Season with black pepper to taste and serve immediately.
