Käsknöpfle

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk or water
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups grated Alpine cheese (such as Emmental or Vorarlberger)
• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp butter
• Chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

1. 1Combine flour, eggs, milk, and salt into a smooth, slightly sticky spätzle batter, beating well to develop elasticity.
2. 2Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
3. 3Press the batter through a spätzle maker or colander directly into the boiling water, cooking until the small dumplings float to the top.
4. 4Remove the cooked spätzle with a slotted spoon and drain well.
5. 5Meanwhile, melt butter in a pan and cook the sliced onions until deeply golden and caramelized.
6. 6Layer the cooked spätzle with the grated cheese in a warm pot or oven-safe dish, alternating layers, and gently warm until the cheese melts throughout.
7. 7Top the melted cheese-spätzle mixture with the caramelized onions.
8. 8Garnish with chopped chives and serve hot as a comforting main course.
