Swiss Cheese Spaetzle image

A large portion of Switzerland is highly influenced by German cuisine. Here is a combination of the two! I do recommend that you purchase a spaetzle maker, but you can use a colander or the method listed here. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

water
1 medium onion, chopped
3 slices bacon, sliced
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups white flour
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup swiss cheese, grated
parsley, chopped, optional to garnish
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat up a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bacon. Cook until the onion is slightly golden.
  • For the pasta, mix together eggs, flour, milk and nutmeg. The dough will be quite runny.
  • Put the pasta dough onto a wooden board, now scrape with a knife little dumplings about the size of a couple of peas and let each dumpling fall into the boiling water. You can also use what is called a Spätzle machine which is like a giant garlic press or push it through a colander.
  • Once the dumplings float on the water, take them out as they are done.
  • Add the Spätzle dumplings and the cheese to the frying pan and fry for a couple of minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle some parsley on top.
