Ingredients
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup milk 118 milliliters
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper freshly ground, pinch
- nutmeg freshly grated, pinch
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 190 grams
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons butter divided, unsalted
- 1 onion peeled and thinly sliced into rings, medium
- 4 ounces Pingauzer Bierkäse cheese or Gruyere/Alpine cheese, shredded or cubed, 113 grams
- chives for garnish, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Gently stir in the flour, a little at a time, until all of it has been added, then beat together until well combined with bubbles starting to form. If too thick, add a little more milk. If too thin, add a little more flour. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- In a large cast iron or nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized. Remove to a plate.
- While the onions are caramelizing, bring a large pot of water to a simmer.
- Place a spaetzle press or large-holed colander over the pot and fill with batter. Slide the press back and forth or use a wooden spoon to press the batter through the holes of the colander to create the dumplings. Cook until the dumplings float to the top. Remove with a strainer and drain well.
- Place the skillet over medium heat and melt the remaining tablespoon (14 grams) of butter.
- Once thoroughly heated, add the cooked dumplings and toss with the cheese until melted. Leave the pan undisturbed for a couple of minutes to create a golden brown crust along the bottom and sides of the dumplings.
- Remove from heat and serve hot topped with the caramelized onions and chives.
