German, Main Course Vegetarian Nut Free, Eggs

Käsespätzle

Serves 4

Ingredients

Method

4  Eggs
400 g All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Salt
50 ml Water (As Needed)
200 g Emmental Cheese, Grated
2  Onions, Thinly Sliced
2 tbsp Butter

To make the spätzle, mix together the eggs, flour, and salt. Gradually add water until the batter is smooth and somewhat elastic.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spätzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the batter into the boiling water. Cook until the spätzle floats to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until browned and crispy.

In a separate pan, add a layer of spätzle, a layer of cheese, and another layer of spätzle. Cook over low heat until the cheese is melted. Top with the crispy onions before serving.
