Fresh Herbed Quark Spaetzle

• 1 pinch salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup quark cheese
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs, chopped

1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and the nutmeg.
3. Add the eggs, quark, and cream and beat until smooth.
4. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
5. Working in batches, press the dough through a spaetzle maker into the boiling water; or use a colander with large holes and a rubber spatula.
6. Cook until the spaetzle float to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Using a fine sieve, transfer the spaetzle to the ice water for 1 to 2 minutes to cool, then remove to a colander to drain.
8. In a large skillet, melt the butter.
9. Add the spaetzle and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
10. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle the herbs over the top, and serve.
