Creamy cheese spaetzle made easy: the perfect recipe for a heavenly, delicious dish

Particularly important: Use freshly grated cheese, as already grated cheese often contains additives that impair its melting properties. Another little trick: add a touch of nutmeg or a little garlic to the cheese sauce. These fine aromas give the cheese spaetzle a special touch without overpowering the taste of the cheese. To prepare the spaetzle you need flour, eggs, salt and a little water. It's best to beat the dough by hand until it bubbles - this ensures the typical airy consistency. Then put the dough directly into boiling water through a spaetzle press or a slicer and cook for just a few minutes until the spaetzle floats to the surface. Toss the cooked spaetzle in a large pan with a little butter. Now the cheese comes into play: Add the cheeses in layers over the hot spaetzle and stir slowly until the cheese is completely melted and creamy. Important: The heat should not be too high, otherwise the cheese will form strings and not melt evenly. Refine and enjoy: Finally, you can garnish the cheese spaetzle with freshly ground pepper, crispy fried onions and some chives. This adds extra flavor and texture to the dish. With the right cheese mixture and a few simple steps, you can make this traditional dish again and again - and it is guaranteed to be a highlight on your dinner table.
