Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
3 eggs
⅜ cup 2% milk
3 tablespoons butter
1 onion, sliced
1 ½ cups shredded Emmentaler cheese

Steps:

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.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Press batter through a spaetzle press into the water. You may also use a potato ricer, colander, or a cheese grater. When the spaetzle has floated to the top of the water, remove it to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Mix in 1 cup of the cheese.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook until golden. Stir in spaetzle and remaining cheese until well blended. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.
