Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups Pale ale beer
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour, stirring until a sticky dough forms. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the dough into the boiling water.

Step 4

Cook the spaetzle until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked spaetzle to a bowl of ice water for 30 seconds, then drain and set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Pour in the beer and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Slowly add the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Season the sauce with black pepper and nutmeg, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the spaetzle and sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

Step 9

Pour the cheese sauce over the spaetzle, gently tossing to coat evenly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm, pairing with your favorite craft beer for an authentic brewmaster’s experience.
