Käsknöpfle
Käsknöpfle, often referred to as 'cheese spaetzle,' is a beloved traditional dish from Liechtenstein and the surrounding Alpine regions. It consists of small, irregularly shaped egg noodles mixed with grated Alpine cheese and typically topped with crispy fried onions. This hearty and comforting dish is a staple in Liechtenstein's culinary heritage, reflecting the region's connection to the land and its resourcefulness in using simple, local ingredients.
🧂 Ingrediente
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 4 large Large eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
- 2 cups Alpine cheese (Emmental, Gruyère, or Appenzeller)(grated)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 large Onion(thinly sliced)
👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then gradually add the milk while continuing to whisk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth, thick batter. It should be thicker than pancake batter but still pourable. Let the dough rest for about 20 minutes.

Cook the onions: While the dough rests, caramelize the thinly sliced onion in a pan with butter over medium heat until golden brown and tender. Set aside.

Cook the Käsknöpfle: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Press the dough through a Spätzle maker or a colander with large holes directly into the boiling water. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface.

Drain and cheese: Drain the cooked Käsknöpfle well. Return them to the warm pot or a serving bowl. Add the grated cheese and toss immediately until the cheese is melted and coats the noodles. If the mixture seems dry, add a tablespoon or two of the pasta cooking water to help create a creamy consistency.

Serve: Serve the Käsknöpfle hot, topped with the caramelized onions. Applesauce is a traditional accompaniment.
