Kaspressknödel

Kaspressknödeln are Austrian cheese dumplings originating from Tyrol. Although people refer to them as dumplings, they are actually not cooked in water, but fried in a pan, and they also don't have the typical shape of a ball – the mixture is formed into patties instead. The dumplings are made with a combination of bread cubes, grated mountain cheese, butter, milk, onions, eggs, seasonings, and fresh herbs such as chives and parsley. Once prepared, kaspressknödeln are fried in butter until golden brown on both sides. They are either served in a broth or used in a variety of salads.
