1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

8 large Swiss chard leaves

4 ounces Salsiz or bündnerfleisch, finely diced

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup beef or vegetable stock

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated cheese (Gruyère or Emmental)

Salt and pepper to taste

Ensure the Swiss chard leaves are large enough to wrap the spätzli and salsiz snugly.

Let the spätzli dough sit for a few minutes before assembling to achieve a better texture.

Feel free to adjust the amount of salsiz based on your preference.
