Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 4 Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Gruyère cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Crispy fried onions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground nutmeg.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and milk. Whisk until the batter is smooth and thick. It should be slightly elastic in texture.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Using a spaetzle maker or a large-holed colander, press the batter through the holes directly over the boiling water, creating small noodle-like drops. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the spaetzle for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining batter.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spaetzle and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the shredded Gruyère and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently until the cheese is melted and evenly coats the spaetzle.
Transfer the cheesy spaetzle to a serving dish and top with crispy fried onions.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately.
