Steps:
- Cook Spaetzle in a large pot of boiling salt water for 13 minutes until tender and strain, add into a large bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add the oil and butter to a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add in sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, add in bacon and ham and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Mix together the onions, bacon and ham into a large bowl with noodles.
- Add in chives, parsley and seasoning to taste. Be careful with the salt because the bacon is already salty!
- Mix well together and add half the cheese.
- Butter the sides of an oven baking dish, add the mixture and cover it with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes and broil for 3 minutes until the "bake" is golden brown.
Tips:
- For the best results, use cold butter and freshly grated cheese.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the spätzle tough.
- If you don't have a spätzle maker, you can use a colander with large holes. Just press the dough through the holes into the boiling water.
- Cook the spätzle in batches so that they don't crowd the pot and cook evenly.
- Once the spätzle is cooked, drain it well and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- You can use any type of cheese that you like in this recipe. Some good options include cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, and Gruyère.
- Serve the spätzle bake immediately, while it's still hot and bubbly.
- Leftover spätzle bake can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
