How to Prepare Cheesy Spaetzle [Vegan]

  1. Fill a large pot with water until it's ¾ full, add salt and place on full heat.
  2. Mix flours, water, salt & pepper in a bowl and whisk until it's a sticky dough.
  3. When the water is boiling you can put the spaetzle maker* on top of the pot. Insert the dough and move the spaetzle maker until all the dough is in the water.
  4. The spaetzle will swim on the surface once they are ready.
  5. Put the spaetzle in a drainer, pour some water over it, drain and then add it in a hot, lightly oiled pan.
  6. Cut onion in rings and heat them up in a separate hot pan.
  7. Add cheese and a splash of the plant-based milk to the spaetzle and stir.
  8. When the cheese melted the dish is ready to serve.
  9. Combine spaetzle and onions and sprinkle with some fresh chives.

Notes

To make these spaetzle I highly recommend using a spaetzle maker. Alternatively, you can shape the spaetzle dough pieces individually by hand (similar to forming gnocchi) and add them to the boiling water.
