A delightful twist on the classic Alpine noodles and cheese, this recipe combines creamy cheese, crispy pancetta, and aromatic spices for a comforting dish.
Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Rinsing the noodles in cold water stops the cooking process and prevents sticking.
In a skillet, sauté the pancetta and caraway seeds over medium heat until the pancetta is crispy.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Add the onions to the skillet and cook until golden brown.
Cook the onions slowly to bring out their natural sweetness.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir in the cooked noodles, pancetta mixture, and half of the cheese.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for even flavor distribution.
Transfer the mixture to a buttered baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Spread the mixture evenly in the dish for uniform baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
Check the dish halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Savory Alpine Cheese Bake!
Allowing the dish to rest helps it set for easier serving.
