• 4 eggs
• about 2-3 cups of flour
• a dash of salt water
• MouCo ColoRouge, cut in cubes or strips
• Swiss cheese/Jarlsberg/Emmentaler/Gruyere, shredded onions (optional)

If you like onions, sauté onions in butter and oil before you start your spaetzle. They will take a long time to reach the crispy, dark caramelized stage.

Directions

1. Crack eggs into a bowl, add flour and salt and then add a little water at a time and stir until mixture is smooth, and thicker than the consistency of pancake batter (dough should plop of a spoon).
2. Bring water to a boil and add mixture into spaetzle maker. The spaetzle will sink to the bottom of the pot and slowly rise to the top.
3. With a slotted spoon take them out and place in a bowl.
4. Add more dough to the spaetzle maker and repeat the process.
5. Add shredded cheese, then another layer of spaetzle, then more cheese.
6. Mix well for cheese to melt.
