Notes
• The batter should be soft enough to pass through your spätzle maker. Follow the preparation guidance for the tool you use rather than treating the batter like a firm pasta dough.
• Cook in batches so the noodles have room to move in the water, then drain each batch well.
• Slice the onion evenly and stir during cooking so it browns without scorching.
• Reserve some browned onions before adding the spätzle to the pan if you want an onion topping.
• Melt the cheese over gentle heat, stirring carefully to avoid crushing the spätzle or scorching the cheese.
• Serve promptly while the cheese is melted and the noodles are warm.
