Käsespätzle (German Cheese Spaetzle) are that comfort meal that waits for you at the end of the Alpine ski slopes (along with a cold beer of course). These iconic, cheesy noodles topped with crisp, caramelized onions are addictive (and nothing like mac and cheese). Originally from Germany’s southwestern Swabia region, Käsespätzle are now popular all across Germany. I can’t wait for you to try my easy Käsespätzle recipe!
