Ingredients

  • 1 pound spätzle noodles
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup grated Emmental cheese
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 burger buns
  • Butter for toasting the buns

Instructions

  1. Boil the spätzle noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spätzle to the skillet with the caramelized onions.
  4. Stir in the grated Emmental and Gruyère cheeses, and pour in the heavy cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the spätzle is coated in a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. While the spätzle mixture is still warm, form it into 4 patties, similar in size to the burger buns.
  6. Toast the burger buns with a little butter in a separate skillet until golden brown.
  7. Assemble the Käsespätzle burgers by placing a spätzle patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Serve the Cheesy Spätzle Burgers immediately and enjoy!
