Kaes spaetzle is a traditional German dish that is made with spaetzle, a type of egg noodle, and cheese. It is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The spaetzle are typically made with flour, eggs, and milk, and are then cooked in boiling water. Once the spaetzle are cooked, they are tossed with cheese, onions, and sometimes bacon or ham. Kaes spaetzle can be served as a main course or as a side dish, and is often accompanied by a green salad.

Steps:
- Sift together flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Alternately mix in milk and the flour mixture until smooth. Let stand for 30 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Press batter through a spaetzle press into the water. You may also use a potato ricer, colander, or a cheese grater. When the spaetzle has floated to the top of the water, remove it to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Mix in 1 cup of the cheese.

Repeat layers with remaining spaetzle and cheese. Spoon fried onions over top.

GERMAN KAESE SPAETZLE FOR 1 OR 2
I first tried this for a culture project and it was absolutely fantastic! I make a smaller batch, but that's because I'm a college student, but this can be easily doubled or tripled for more people. I also have no spaetzle maker, so I just spooned a portion of the batter onto a course cheese grater and pressed it through with a spatula. I also wore an oven mitt so my hands weren't burned by the steam as I held the grater over the pot. It's a little tricky at first, but as the batter sits in the grater over the pot, it gets a little thinner and will drip through easily as you press it. Also, I don't have any authentic cheeses, but mine turned out splendedly with grated cheddar and mozzarella.

KAESE SPAETZLE (CHEESE SPAETZLE)
My DF spent 5 months in Austria and misses the food terribly. So for our anniversary tonight I decided to take on the challenge of making one of his favorites. I searched and searched and found recipes and was completely lost on cheeses . . . hard to find some of those good European cheeses in the US. Finally I called up an old family friend who called her mother in Germany and came up with this recipe that my DF says is dead on perfect! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Hope you enjoy it too.

Tips:
- Use the right cheese. The best cheese for Käsespätzle is a hard, sharp cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, Appenzeller, or Emmental.
- Grate the cheese finely. This will help it melt evenly throughout the dish.
- Don't overcook the Spätzle. They should be cooked until they are just tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
- Use a large skillet or griddle. This will help you to cook the Spätzle in a single layer, which will prevent them from sticking together.
- Serve Käsespätzle immediately. It is best when it is hot and gooey.
Conclusion:
Käsespätzle is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover bread. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, Käsespätzle is a perfect meal for any occasion.
