🍽️ Crispy Cheese Spätzle

867 kcal · 35 min · 4 servings

Ingredients

• 500 g flour
• 1 tbsp oil
• 250 ml water
• 4 tsp salt
• 6 egg(s)
• 3 medium-sized onion(s)
• 300 g cheese, grated (Allgäu Emmental)

Instructions

1. 1. Mix the eggs, flour, oil, and about 4 teaspoons of salt using the dough hook. Gradually add water until a thick, sticky dough forms. The exact amount depends on the size of the eggs.
2. 2. Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Press the dough spoonful by spoonful through a spätzle press directly into the boiling water. If you do not have a press, scrape the dough from the cutting board directly into the water.
3. 3. The spätzle will float to the surface after a short time. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them in a large bowl.
4. 4. Sprinkle each portion of spätzle with some cheese immediately and stir well to distribute the cheese evenly. Then cook the next batch of spätzle. Make sure the water is well-salted, as the spätzle will absorb salt from the water.
5. 5. Stir occasionally at the bottom of the pot to prevent anything from burning or sticking.
6. 6. Peel the onions and slice them into rings. Fry them in a pan until dark brown and crispy. Then distribute the fried onions over the cheese spätzle.
7. 7. Serve the spätzle with a fresh green salad.
