Käsespätzle Autrichien

Step by stepInstructions

1. Whisk the flour, salt, and nutmeg with the eggs and water into a thick, stretchy batter. Rest 15 minutes.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onions with the sugar and caraway 20-25 minutes, stirring often, until deep golden brown.
3. Press the batter through a spätzle maker or coarse sieve into a pot of boiling salted water. Cook 2-3 minutes until the noodles float; drain.
4. Preheat the oven to 400°F and butter a baking dish. Layer half the spätzle, half the cheeses, the rest of the spätzle, and the remaining cheese on top.
5. Bake 10-12 minutes until the cheese is molten and golden at the edges. Top with the caramelized onions, chives, and pepper, and serve hot.
