Spätzle are a delicious soft egg noodle, popular in German and Hungarian cooking. Here Shay Cooper adds a beautiful smoked eel accompaniment to lift this dish from traditional to extraordinary.
Add the cooked Spätzle and additional mustard and warm it through. Serve sprinkled with the chopped herbs, the poached egg and a dash of balsamic vinegar
