German noodles in creamy cheese sauce with Chili Cheese Nuggets. A delicious comfort food that combines classic German flavours with a spicy twist. Top it off with chopped fresh chives and crispy fried onions for a crunchy bite.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and stir well with a whisk; let this mixture cook for 1 minute to remove the flour flavour.Then add the milk little by little, keep whisking until a smooth sauce forms. Then add the whipping cream. Simmer gently for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Then add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Season to taste with mustard, a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the Spätzle or egg noodles according to the instructions on the packet. Drain when the noodles are ready and set aside with a small knob of butter to prevent sticking.
Meanwhile, also bake the Chili Cheese Nuggets in the oven, airfryer or deep fryer. The correct baking times are indicated on the packaging.
Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and mix well. Divide among four deep plates. On each plate, place 4 Chili Cheese Nuggets on top of the noodles. Garnish with chopped chives and a handful of crispy onions.
