Beat the flour, eggs, milk, and half of the salt into a sticky batter.
Rest the batter for 10 minutes so the flour absorbs the liquid and the texture settles.
Cook the onions in the butter for 15 minutes, until golden.
Press the spaetzle batter through a perforated spoon into boiling salted water.
Boil the spaetzle for 3 minutes, until they rise to the surface, then drain.
Mix the hot spaetzle with the cheese and black pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spread the onions on top, and bake at 190°C for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with chives and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Keeping the spaetzle batter thick enough to fall slowly from the spoon gives short, tender noodles.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with caramelized onions, chives, and a plain green salad.
