Hearty cheese spaetzle is a popular dish - especially in southern Germany. With our delicious Dutch Oven recipe for the square cast iron pot, you can easily prepare them yourself. To make it particularly quick, we simply use ready-made spaetzle for our Dutch oven cheese spaetzle. You can find these in the chiller cabinet of any well-stocked supermarket.

Preparation with briquettes Depending on the size, burn approx. 16-20 briquettes and place 2/3 of them on the lid and 1/3 under the Dutch Oven.

Preparation in the oven For preparation in the oven, preheat the oven to 200 °C fan.

Preparation

1

Wash the chives and cut them into small rolls. Then put them to one side.

2

Peel the onions and cut them into fine rings. If you are preparing the cheese spaetzle over briquettes, add a little butter to the preheated Dutch oven to fry the onions until translucent and then set aside. If you choose to prepare them in the oven, fry the onions with butter in a pan.

3

Mix the vegetable stock with the cream and season to taste with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg.

4

Now pour the spaetzle, grated cheese, onions and cream into the Dutch oven and mix the ingredients together. Keep some grated cheese to sprinkle over the spaetzle at the end.

5

Place the Dutch Oven Square in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or for about the same time with the lid on the briquettes. The cheese should be melted and, if desired, slightly crispy around the edges.

6

Finally, garnish the cheese spaetzle in the Dutch oven with the prepared chives.

You can also use any other cheese for the preparation if you find the suggested varieties too flavourful. Simply replace it with Gouda, for example. Alternatively, you can also serve the cheese spaetzle with fried onions. Simply garnish the spaetzle with them after baking.
