Allgäuer Käsepfanne (Keto-Spätzle-Alternative)
Allgäu Cheese Skillet (Keto Noodle Alternative)
Yes, with a tweak: essential: Replace traditional Spätzle with a keto-friendly noodle alternative (e.g., kohlrabi, zucchini, shirataki). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto interpretation of the rich Allgäuer Käsespätzle. Instead of traditional egg noodles, a low-carb alternative like thinly sliced or julienned kohlrabi, zucchini, or even shirataki noodles is used, generously mixed with melted Emmentaler and Bergkäse (mountain cheese), and topped with crispy fried onions. A hearty and satisfying dish with a creamy, cheesy base.
Key ingredients
Kohlrabi (or zucchini/shirataki noodles), Emmentaler cheese, Bergkäse, butter, heavy cream, onions, chives, salt, pepper, nutmeg.
How to make it keto
Essential: Replace traditional Spätzle with a keto-friendly noodle alternative (e.g., kohlrabi, zucchini, shirataki). Ensure onions are fried in keto-friendly oil/butter, not breaded or floured.
Watch out for
Use of actual Spätzle. Onions often breaded or floured before frying. Hidden starches in cheese blends (less common in authentic German alpine cheeses but possible).
