Crack 3 medium size eggs one by one into a mixing bowl.

Add 300g of wheat flour, 1 tbsp of vegetable oil, and 1 tsp of salt to the bowl.

Mix the dough with a kneading hook on high speed for about 3 minutes until incorporated.

Add 1-2 tbsp of water if needed to achieve the right consistency.

Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 40 minutes at room temperature.

Wash 500g of spinach, squeeze out the water, and chop it roughly.

Dice 2 whole onions finely and mince 2 garlic cloves.

Pour 2 tbsp of vegetable oil into a wok and turn the stove to medium-high heat.

Sauté the minced onions and garlic until softened, then add the chopped spinach.

Cover the wok with a lid and let it cook on low heat for about 3 minutes.

Season the filling with a pinch of salt, grated pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, then stir well and turn off the heat to let it cool slightly.

Crack 1 egg, add the egg yolk to the cooled spinach filling, and mix well.

Sprinkle loose flour on the working surface to prevent sticking.

Take half of the dough and roll it into a rectangular sheet about 30 x 40 cm large.

Use a pizza or cookie cutter to divide the dough sheet into approximately 10 x 10 cm squares.

Place about half to 1 tbsp of filling in the middle of each square.

Squeeze out as much fluid from the filling as possible before placing it.

Take the leftover egg white and beat it until fluffy.

Brush the beaten egg white thinly along one of the corners of the dough square.

Fold one corner of the skin to the other to form a triangle shape and press the edges firmly to seal.

Dust with more loose flour to prevent sticking.

Take a medium-size pot, heat water on medium or low heat.

Drop the Maultaschen one by one into the water and wait until they start floating on the surface.

Serve 2 of the Maultaschen with vegetable or meat stock, decorated with diced carrots and chives.

Optionally, pan fry the cooked Maultaschen and serve with caramelized onions.
