Whisk the flour, eggs, milk, salt and nutmeg until you have a thick, flowing batter.
Rest the batter for 15 minutes.
Slice the onions thinly and cook in butter for 18 minutes, until golden.
Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot.
Press the batter through a spaetzle grater into the boiling water and lift out the pieces that float.
Layer the hot spaetzle with grated cheese.
Serve immediately with fried onions and black pepper.
💡 Tip: Leaving the batter thick enough to fall slowly from a spoon keeps the spaetzle pieces pleasantly firm.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with green salad and a light grape-vinegar dressing.
