- 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)

- Add more dough to the spaetzle maker and repeat the process.
- Add shredded cheese, then another layer of spaetzle, then more cheese.
