cheese spaetzle

German Cheese Spaetzle - or Käsespätzle - is the perfect hearty dish. Made from homemade spaetzle and shredded Emmental cheese, this not-too-healthy-but-oh-so-yummy dish is topped with fried onions and parsley for added crunch and flavor!

Käsespätzle (German Cheese Spaetzle)

noodles

Emmental cheese (grated)

onion

butter

pepper

parsley

Peel the onion and cut it into thin rings. Heat approximately 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized frying pan. Add the onions and sauté them on medium heat until brown. Stir regularly. Make sure to watch them closely towards the end as they can go from browned to burned quite quickly. If you are unsure, turn down the heat and fry the onions slower.

Melt the other 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan and add the spaetzle. When the spaetzle are warm, sprinkle a little bit of grated cheese on top and stir. Sprinkle some more cheese on and stir again. Repeat until you have used up all the cheese. Now stir regularly until the cheese has fully melted.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish the cheesy spaetzle with crispy onions and freshly chopped parsley. Käsespätzle tastes great with a fresh green salad.

K&auml;sesp&auml;tzle with made from scratch sp&auml;tzle noodles (or store-bought if you prefer). Melty cheese and a healthy dose of sauteed onions make this decadent dish a beer garden menu favorite and a homemade comfort food.&nbsp;

A delicious, simple, hearty egg noodle recipe that&#039;s one of Germany&#039;s most beloved side dishes.

Spaetzle

flour (all purpose flour)

eggs

water

nutmeg (ground)

butter (unsalted)

parsley (optional, fresh parsley, minced)

In a large bowl combine flour, eggs, and ground nutmeg. Beat with a hand mixer and slowly pour water into the batter. Continue to beat until the batter has a thick and sticky consistency.

Cover the bowl with a towel and rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.  

Making the Batter

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt.

Place the spaetzle maker on top of the pot. Wet the scraper.

Pour a little bit of the batter on top of the spaetzle maker. Use the scraper to push the batter through the holes of the spaetzle maker into the simmering water.

Cook until the spaetzle rise to the top. About 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon and transfer the cooked spaetzle into an empty bowl. Repeat until you&#039;ve used up the batter.

Cooking

Melt butter in a large frying pan. Toss the cooked spaetzle in the melted butter and fry for about a minute. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
