Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Mix flour with 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add eggs and about 200 ml water. Beat everything with a wooden spoon (with a hole) until the dough is smooth and bubbles appear. The dough should flow viscously from the spoon, if necessary add some more water.

2. 2

   Coarsely grate both cheeses. Wash the chives, shake them dry and cut into small rolls. Peel onions and slice or cut into thin rings. Heat the lard in a large pan and slowly fry the onions in it until they are brown.

3. 3

   Finally sprinkle with paprika and fry briefly more.

4. 4

   Bring salted water to the boil in a large pot. Put the dough in portions into a spaetzle press. Press into the water and cook for 2-3 minutes. Lift out with a skimmer and drain in a sieve.

5. 5

   Remove some cooking water. Pour half the cheese into a preheated bowl. Pour the hot spaetzle with the cooking water removed onto it. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and mix everything carefully. Season with pepper.

6. 6

   Sprinkle with onions and chives and serve immediately.
