German Cheese Spaetzle (Schwäbische Käsespätzle)

Homemade German Spätzle

butter

onions (, chopped)

salt

sugar

Salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  Butter a 9x13 (or a little smaller) casserole dish.

To make the caramelized onions:   Melt the butter in a medium-sized heavy stock pot or Dutch oven. Add the onions and stir occasionally for 20-30 minutes until deeply caramelized.  Halfway into it sprinkle with a little salt and sugar to help with the caramelizing.  Get the onions nice and brown.

Layer 1/3 of the Spätzle in the bottom of the dish followed by 1/3 of the cheese and 1/3 of the caramelized onions. Repeat, sprinkling each layer with some salt, ending with cheese and onions on top.

Bake for 10 minutes or longer until the cheese is melted and the edges are just beginning to get a little crispy.Serve immediately.  This makes great leftovers!

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

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;

Käsespätzle, elke wintersporter kent het wel. Zeker als je vegetarisch eet, want kasespatzl, of kasknöpfle, is namelijk een van de weinige vegetarische opties in Oostenrijk, Zuid Duitsland en Zwitserland. Maar dat vind ik niet erg, het is namelijk heerlijk! Het lijkt een beetje op mac 'n cheese, of pasta met kaas, maar dan op z'n Oostenrijks / Zwitsers. Een aanrader!

Super snelle käsespätzle

olijfolie

zout

peper

verse bieslook

gebakken uitjes

Kook de spatzle volgens de aanwijzingen op de verpakking gaar.&nbsp;

Snij de uien in ringen. Bak deze in een koekenpan met een scheut olijfolie. Bak een paar minuten tot de ringen licht bruin kleuren. Voeg een eetlepel water toe en laat de uien nog even 5 minuten verder pruttelen zodat de uien wat verder gaar worden.&nbsp;

Rasp in de tussentijd de bergkaas grof. Dit kan met een handrasp, of in de foodprocessor van een keukenmachine.&nbsp;

Voeg de pasta toe aan de uien en zet de koekenpan op laag vuur. Voeg nu ook de kaas toe, tot deze mooi is gesmolten. Breng op smaak met zout en peper. Je&nbsp;käsespätzle is al klaar!&nbsp;

Garneer het gerecht met wat vers geknipte bieslook en wat gebakken uitjes. Denk er een goed besneeuwde piste bij en waan je op wintersport :). Eet smakelijk!&nbsp;
