Quark Spaetzle
These simple quark spaetzle are quick to make, freeze well, and can be served like classic egg spaetzle — as a side, pan-fried, or baked in casseroles. The addition of creamy quark gives them a tender texture and a subtle tang, making them a versatile and protein-rich addition to any meal.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Fill a large pot about three-quarters full with water and bring it to a boil.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, mix the flour, salt, eggs, and quark with a wooden spoon. Add the water and stir the dough with the spoon until it’s smooth and free of lumps.
- Step 3
Salt the water and reduce the heat so it’s just simmering. Briefly hold a spaetzle board or grater under running water, then place it over the pot and scrape half of the spaetzle dough through into the simmering water.
- Step 4
Let the spaetzle simmer for about one minute, then remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and place them in a colander to drain. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Step 5
Either serve the spaetzle directly or first fry them again in a pan with a little oil or butter and then serve or process further.
