Baked ham dumplings - creamy, delicious and easy

Creamy, spicy and without any frills: these baked ham dumplings are a real classic from the pub kitchen. Onions sautéed until golden yellow, good ham, a little bacon and a creamy topping of sour cream, cream and eggs - that's all you need. Just right when you want something quick but tastes like home.

Preparation

Ingredients for 4 people

Fleckerl & garnish (for 4 people)

  • 300 g Fleckerl (or pasta sheets, cut into diamonds)

  • 200 g cooked ham (in strips or cubes)

  • 100 g streaky pancetta (optional, for more flavor)

  • 2 medium-sized onions

  • 1 clove of garlic, finely grated

  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (lightly crushed)

  • 1 tbsp marjoram (dried)

  • Salt, pepper, nutmeg

  • some lard (for browning)

  • some butter for the mold

  • 50-60 g grated cheese (e.g. Emmental or mountain cheese)

Top casting

  • 200 g sour cream

  • 250 g cream

  • 4 eggs

  • Salt, pepper, nutmeg

Preparation

    1. Pre-cook the patties:

      Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente, strain and rinse with cold water.

    2. Fry the onion base:

      Slowly fry the finely chopped onions in lard until translucent and golden brown (10-15 minutes). Add the ham and bacon and fry briefly. Finally, mix in the garlic, marjoram, caraway, salt and pepper.

    3. Prepare the cast:

      Whisk the sour cream, cream, eggs and spices well.

    4. Mix everything together:

      Mix the patties, onion and ham mixture and glaze thoroughly in a large bowl and season to taste.

    5. Pour into the mold:

      Grease the baking dish with butter, pour in the mixture and sprinkle with cheese.

    6. Baking:

      Bake in a preheated oven at 175 °C (top/bottom heat) for approx. 16-20 minutes until the surface is golden brown.
