Fried Maultaschen

Prepare Ingredients

• Slice the cooked Maultaschen into 1/2-inch (1.5 cm) thick strips.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

Sauté the Onion

• Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Fry the Maultaschen

• Add the sliced Maultaschen to the skillet with the onions.
• Spread them into a single layer and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
• Stir gently and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing other sides to brown.

Add and Scramble the Eggs

• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the Maultaschen.
• Let the eggs set for about 30-60 seconds before gently stirring and folding them with the dumplings.
• Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are cooked to your liking, about 1-2 minutes.

Garnish and Serve

• Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Stir in the fresh chives and sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg, if using.
• Taste and season with the remaining salt and pepper. Serve immediately while hot.
