directions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth; let stand for 30 minutes. Press the batter through a sieve into boiling salted water. Cook about 1 minute. Drop cooked spaetzle into ice water. Drain spaetzle and set aside.
  • In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add onions and cook until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. In a separate skillet, saute the cooked spaetzle in the oil until golden. Add the bacon mixture, season as needed with salt and pepper, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

  1. Awesome recipe swissms. The pasta was flavorful and had great textures. We really enjoyed the subtle nutmeg flavor in the noodle. I made as written but added some peas and diced mushroom. Thank you so much for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy often.
     
  2. Very good flavors in this easy dish. I had pancetta open so used half a package of that. Served with Chicken Schnitzel. Will use the bacon next time.
     
  3. So very tasty. The directions were easy to follow, with a nice result. :)
     
  4. This brought back fond memories of my childhood. Mom used to make spaetzle quite often and I always enjoyed it. The batter seemed a little thinner than I remember and I really didn't have a sieve that was suitable for making the noodle like shapes, but they tasted just like I remember. Made for 1~2~3 Hit Tag.
     
  5. I really enjoyed this! I was very tempted to add the gruyere, but resisted the temptation. I will try it that way in the future! But this is really delicious as posted. Thanks for sharing!

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary. I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :) I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US. My rating system: 5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often. 4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly. 3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak. 2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
