Steps to make k sesp tzle:
Prepare the ingredients
Flour: used to make spaetzle noodles.
Eggs: used for the gluing of noodles.
Milk or water: Adjust the proportions according to the recipe.
Salt: to taste. Cheese: Melted cheese such as gruyere, emmentaler or jarlsberg is usually used.
Onions: Used to make caramelized onions.
Butter or oil: For sautéing onions.
Optional: Seasonings such as fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, etc.
Make spaetzle noodles
Combine the flour, eggs, milk (or water) and salt together to knead into a dough.
Use a spaetzle press to press the dough into small noodles and cook it until it floats.
Make the caramelized onions
Thinly slice the onion and slowly fry in a pan with butter or oil until caramelized.
Mix and bake
Line the bottom of the baking sheet with a layer of spaetzle noodles and sprinkle with a layer of cheese and caramelized onions.
Repeat the process until all the noodles, cheese, and onions are used up, and the last layer should be cheese and onions.
Depending on the recipe, it may be necessary to sprinkle some breadcrumbs or extra cheese on the top layer.
Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown on the surface.
Enjoy
Remove the baked k sesp tzle from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish and enjoy.
Tip: Make sure the cheese is completely melted during the cooking process so that the noodles can be evenly coated with cheese.
If you like, you can sprinkle some breadcrumbs on the top layer before baking to add texture.
Depending on personal taste, a small amount of spices such as black pepper or nutmeg can be added to the dough.
K Sesp tzle is a traditional German dish full of rich cheese aroma and caramelized onion sweetness, which is satisfying both as a main course and as a side dish.
