Käsespätzle (Cheese Noodles) with Caramelized Onions
A classic German comfort food made with homemade noodles and lots of cheese. Uses aquafaba for lift in the noodles.
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Aquafaba (chickpea brine)
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons Butter

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Prepare the Spätzle dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, aquafaba, milk, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a smooth, thick batter forms. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- 2Caramelize the onions: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
- 3Cook the Spätzle: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a Spätzle maker or a slotted spoon, drop small amounts of dough into the boiling water. Cook until the Spätzle float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- 4Remove the Spätzle with a slotted spoon and drain well.
- 5Assemble the Käsespätzle: In a large bowl, combine cooked Spätzle, caramelized onions, Emmental cheese, and Gruyere cheese. Toss gently to combine.
