Bavarian Cheese Spätzle
A high-protein, muscle-building version of the German comfort classic! This recipe uses whole grain flour and light cheese to provide a balanced meal that supports recovery without the heavy fat content of traditional versions.
Preparation
1
Whisk the whole wheat flour, eggs, egg whites, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until the dough is smooth and starts to form small bubbles.
2
Let the dough rest for about ten minutes while you bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
3
Thinly slice the onion and sauté it in a non-stick pan with olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and soft.
4
Press the dough through a spätzle maker or scrape small strips off a wooden board directly into the boiling water.
5
Wait for the noodles to float to the surface, which takes about two minutes, then scoop them out with a slotted spoon.
6
Layer the hot noodles in a bowl with the shredded light cheese and the caramelized onions.
7
Toss everything together until the cheese is melted and creamy, then serve immediately.
