Spaetzle Baked With Ham and Gruyere image

This came to me in an email from Cooking Light and it looks like a fun adventure, especially the spaetzle making! Sounds like excellent comfort food for the fall so I am putting it here for safekeeping.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/4 cups skim milk, divided
4 large eggs, divided
2 quarts water
cooking spray
1 cup onion, chopped fine
3/4 cup turkey ham, diced (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup gruyere cheese, shredded (3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Sift together 1 2/3 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and baking powder. Combine 3/4 cup milk and 2 eggs, stirring with a whisk. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring with a whisk until combined. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Bring 2 quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan. Hold a colander with large holes (about 1/4-inch in diameter) over boiling water; spoon about 1/2 cup dough into colander. Press the dough through holes with a rubber spatula (droplets will form spaetzle); set colander aside. Cook 3 minutes or until done (spaetzle will rise to surface). Remove with a slotted spoon; drain in a strainer (spaetzle will stick to a paper towel). Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onion; cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in ham. Combine spaetzle and onion mixture in a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray, tossing gently.
  • Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 cups milk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons flour, and pepper, stirring with a whisk. Pour milk mixture over spaetzle mixture. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.

The spaetzle was a bit too soft for my taste, but the overall flavor of the dish was still very good.

This dish was a disappointment. The spaetzle was gummy and the sauce was bland.

This spaetzle dish was a hit with my family! The ham and Gruyère cheese provided a rich and flavorful sauce, while the spaetzle itself was light and fluffy. I also appreciated the ease of preparation - it was ready in under an hour.
