Instructions

  1. Mix the flour with the eggs, salt and enough water to make a thick paste. Let the dough rest for approx. 1 hour.
  2. In the meantime, peel the onions and cut into rings. Fry slowly in oil. Meanwhile, grate the cheese.
  3. Stir the dough again, if it is too tough, add a little more water. Then scrape the dough off the board in portions or put it in boiling salted water with a spaetzle slicer, spaetzle machine or spaetzle press. Immediately skim off the surface with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. Put the spaetzle, onions and cheese in layers in a warmed bowl.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
