Ingredients

400 g flour
4 eggs
1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg
100 ml milk
salt
200 g Emmental cheese
2 tbsp melted butter
2 onions
2 tbsp clarified butter
2 tbsp chive rings

Instructions

1. Mix flour, eggs, ground nutmeg, milk, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until you have a smooth dough. Gradually add 100 to 150 milliliters of water until the dough is thick enough to drip slowly and heavily from the spoon.
2. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
3. Bring a large pot of plenty of salted water to a boil.
4. Meanwhile, grate the cheese finely.
5. If necessary, add a little more water to the dough. Portion by portion, push the dough through a spätzle press (a tool for scraping dough pieces) into the boiling salted water and cook for a few minutes. The spätzle are done when they float to the surface.
6. Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius with fan (convection).
7. Remove the spätzle from the water with a slotted spoon, rinse them briefly with cold water, let them drain, and toss them in melted butter.
8. Layer the spätzle alternately with the grated cheese in a pan. Cover the pan and place it in the hot oven until the cheese has melted.
9. Slice the onions into thin rings and fry them in hot clarified butter (pure butterfat) until golden brown.
10. Sprinkle the cheese spätzle with the fried onions and serve them garnished with chive rolls.
