German Cheese Spaetzle Recipe (Kaesespaetzle)

Nothing says comfort food like a heaping bowl of German cheese spaetzle (or Kaesespaetzle)! Inspired by my many Austrian skiing trips, this ooey-gooey noodle dish is made from a rich, creamy, savory blend of spaetzle, caramelized onion, and Swiss-type cheeses.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 large onion 2 heaping cups, white
  • 4 Tbsp butter 112 g, unsalted
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 6 cups spaetzle 2 10.5-oz packages of dried spaetzle, cooked
  • 1 ½ cups swiss cheese emmental cheese, 6 oz, 170 g, shredded
  • 1 ½ cups gruyere cheese 6 oz, 170 g, shredded

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: Thinly slice the onions into strips. Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pan (like a cast iron) over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they turn golden brown. Be careful not to let them become crispy or burned, lowering the heat as needed. Caramelization takes 20 to 30 minutes. When finished, stir in salt.
  2. Spaetzle: Meanwhile, cook spaetzle according to instructions on package.
  3. Assemble: While everything is still hot, stir together cooked spaetzle, caramelized onions, and shredded cheeses. If the cheese doesn't melt completely, cover and transfer to a warm oven for a few minutes.
  4. Serve: Serve warm, topped with chives.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days. Does not freeze well.
