Spaetzle And Cheese

What is spaetzle, you may be asking yourself. Well, besides being delicious, it is a German dumpling that is shaped in the form of a noodle. In fact, some people consider it to be a type of egg noodle. It’s a recipe that’s been around for a while too! Spaetzle comes from Southern Germany and the first written account of spaetzle dates back to 1725 although some believe that this delightful dumpling dates back even before then It must be scrumptious to have been around this long!
Spaetzle is still a favorite today in many kitchens, often served with cheese and onions. Think of it like an awesome version of German mac and cheese! Some times spaetzle is served with some sort of meat to accompany it, but with a recipe this old, we like to stick to the basics. Grab yourself a plate and see what the Germans have been chowing on for nearly three centuries!
