Stopping for lunch on the on-mountain eatery last Saturday I had resolved to opt for something else from the menu. In conclusion, I ended up with my favorite comfort food, my ski-day temptation par excellence: Kaspressknödel (Cheese dumplings).

In fact, they are not real dumplings: they don’t have the form of a ball and they are not cooked in hot water, but fried in a pan. And so they have the form of patties. The hardest part is deciding whether I want them served in a hearty broth or with salad. This time I opted for the warming soup. Next time I will go for salad, probably. Or for a completely different dish... Here is my recipe for cooking delicious, pan fried cheese dumplings at home. Trust me, they are to die for! In the video below we will walk you through every step of how to make this filling, classic mountain meal. Enjoy!

How to make cheese dumplings step by step

Melt the butter in a skillet and cook the finely chopped onion until they just start to soften. Combine the bread cubes and the grated cheese in a bowl. Add the onion, milk, eggs and spices and mix until a workable dough is formed. Dampen hands and form round flattened dumplings from dough.
