Viennese dumplings with eggs, milk, butter, nutmeg and chives.
About Eiernockerl
Vienna Tourism presents these Eiernockerl from the Sacher cookbook by Christoph Wagner and Alexandra Winkler. Small flour dumplings and eggs form a substantial dish from the city's cooking repertoire.
Milk and butter provide richness, with salt, pepper and ground nutmeg giving the eggs their seasoning. Chives add a fresh onion-like note, and optional shallots offer a stronger savoury accent.
The dumplings have a soft texture beneath their coating of egg. Chopped chives finish the serving, with green salad and beer suggested alongside.
