Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 4 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cups Gruyère cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 cup Crispy fried onions
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground nutmeg.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and milk. Whisk until the batter is smooth and thick. It should be slightly elastic in texture.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 4

Using a spaetzle maker or a large-holed colander, press the batter through the holes directly over the boiling water, creating small noodle-like drops. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 5

Cook the spaetzle for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spaetzle and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, then add the shredded Gruyère and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently until the cheese is melted and evenly coats the spaetzle.

Step 8

Transfer the cheesy spaetzle to a serving dish and top with crispy fried onions.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately.
