Preparation: 20 minutes

Cooking: 30 minutes

Total: 50 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup grated Emmental cheese
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup vegetable broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped chives, for garnish

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spätzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the dough into the boiling water to form small noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a colander to drain.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In the same skillet, melt another 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add half of the spätzle to the skillet and cook until golden and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining spätzle.
Once all the spätzle are cooked, add the caramelized onions back into the skillet. Pour the vegetable broth over the spätzle and stir to combine. Sprinkle the grated cheeses over the top and place the skillet in the preheated oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
