Käsespätzle

  1. Sift together flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Alternately mix in milk and the flour mixture until smooth. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Press batter through a spätzle press into the water. (You may also use a potato ricer, colander, or a cheese grater.) When the spätzle has floated to the top of the water, remove it to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Mix in 1 cup of the cheese.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook until golden. Stir in spätzle and remaining cheese until well blended. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.
