Mix together 2 eggs, 1.5 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 6 tablespoons water until combined.

Let the dough sit for about 20 minutes to become less elastic.

Roll out the dough into squares using a pizza cutter.

Cook ground beef with red onions in a skillet, adding red wine to deglaze the pan.

Mix in chives and thyme to the beef filling.

Take a small amount of filling, about the size of a pea, and place it on the dough square.

Dab a little water on the edges of the dough square to help seal it.

Fold the square over to form a triangle and crimp the edges with a tool or fork.

Trim off the excess edges to make them look neat.

Boil the kreplach in salted water for about 20 minutes.

Remove the kreplach from the water and pan-fry them to make them crispy.
