Cheese Egg Spaetzle
What it is
These are small, irregular-shaped dumplings made from a simple batter of eggs, flour, and water. They are often enriched with cheese, giving them a savory flavor and a slightly chewy texture. The spaetzle are typically pre-cooked and ready to be heated and served as a side dish or incorporated into a larger meal. Their unique shape comes from being scraped or pushed through a spaetzle maker directly into boiling water.
