KAESE SPAETZLE (CHEESE SPAETZLE)



Kaese Spaetzle (Cheese Spaetzle) image

My DF spent 5 months in Austria and misses the food terribly. So for our anniversary tonight I decided to take on the challenge of making one of his favorites. I searched and searched and found recipes and was completely lost on cheeses . . . hard to find some of those good European cheeses in the US. Finally I called up an old family friend who called her mother in Germany and came up with this recipe that my DF says is dead on perfect! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Hope you enjoy it too.

Tips for Making Kässpätzle:

  • Use a sturdy wooden spoon to stir and mix the dough. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a smooth, even texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the Kässpätzle. This will prevent the Kässpätzle from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the Kässpätzle in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the Kässpätzle immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Kässpätzle is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese and bread, and it is also a fun and easy dish to make. With a little practice, you will be able to make perfect Kässpätzle every time.
