We love spaetzle and we often make our airy, tender Ricotta Spaetzle for dinner. We've never thought of them as breakfast food, but now we suddenly do...
Spaetzle for Breakfast
Spaetzle are tiny German dumplings - not much more than flour, eggs, and water. They can be made orzo-tiny by pushing the batter through a ricer or special spaetzle-maker. Or they can be made, as we prefer them, by pushing thumb-sized lumps of batter off the end of a teaspoon.
Allen of Eating Out Loud took this approach and made his deliciously savory breakfast spaetzle manually, without a ricer.
He also added roasted red pepper and scallions and put a poached egg on top. Sheer deliciousness!!

That's a great idea, and it's going right on my to-cook list! I'd probably make it as a dinner rather than breakfast, though. Since I got an egg-poaching pan for Xmas, I've been making them all the time, and it's always nice to find something else to put them on!

I always make it by spreading some of the batter on a small cutting board and scraping a "line" of batter off the end with the dull side of a flat-backed knife. Yum.

Wow, so excited to have my post on Kitchn! I'm glad that everyone likes it.
I'll have to try the cutting board/scraping approach next time. Thanks for the tip!

I made this for dinner the other night, and it was great! My spaetzle came out a lot more crazy looking than the ones above, but they were still tasty. I added some baby spinach along with the red peppers, which made for very festive colors.
