Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, eggs, milk, salt, and nutmeg to form a smooth batter.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  3. Using a Spätzli maker or a colander with large holes, press the batter through into the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the Spätzli floats to the surface.
  4. Remove the cooked Spätzli with a slotted spoon and transfer to a colander to drain.
  5. In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
  6. Add the cooked Spätzli to the pan with spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Serve hot, optionally topped with grated cheese.

 

Notes

  • Be sure not to overcrowd the pot when cooking the Spätzli to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding more milk if it’s too thick or more flour if it’s too thin.
  • Traditional Spätzli can also be made without spinach for a plain version.
