KASESPATZLE
European style soft pasta type blobs with swiss cheese melted into it. Doesn't sound to good but it is definitely comfort food. You need a spatzle grater through which you "grate" the raw dough into the boiling water. This is how it is formed into large pea sized lumps. Although not the "correct way" I use skim milk and 1/2 whole wheat flour and it is still dissappears quickly from the table.

Steps:
- Put a large pot of water on to boil.
- Grate swiss cheese.
- Mix flour and salt.
- Mix eggs and milk.
- Stir liquid into dry ingredients.
- It will make a dough, moister than bread dough, almost but not quite as soft as muffin dough.Use extra milk if it is too stiff. If the dough is too soft the spatzle will turn out mushy.
- Fill spatzle grater with dough and "grate" it directly into the boiling water.
- Cook about 10 minutes at a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- The spatzle rise to the top when ready.
- Drain well.
- I use 2 corningware dishes with lids (2.5 quart or 2.3 litre).
- Alternate layers of spatzle, cheese and a dribble of melted butter. Mix or leave in layers.
- Let stand covered for 5 minutes to melt cheese.
- Best served with Maggi (similar to soy sauce)sprinkled on top for extra flavour.
- This freezes well and can be warmed up in the microwave or oven.

Steps:
- Caramelized Onions Melt butter in skillet over med-high heat. Stir in sliced onions until they're covered, then cook for 10 minutes. Stir every 3 mins or so. Then sprinkle the salt over them (and a tsp of brown sugar if you have tangier onions) and reduce heat to med-low. Cook for 30-40 minutes until they are golden brown and a little crispy looking. Spaetzle Start a pot of water boiling. I use an average-sized sauce pot filled just over 3/4 full, and with a little salt. Add a little butter or oil to the water (to keep the noodles from sticking together) Beat the eggs soundly, then add the milk, then add all the remaining ingredients except the cheese. Mix the batter well. It will be thick. Set your spätzle hobel or a colander on top of the pot, and scrape about 1/4 of the batter in. Spread the batter across the hobel or colander with a spatula so it falls out the bottom in little bits. When the bits rise to the top, they're done. It won't take long. Scoop them out into a bowl or casserole dish with a slotted spoon and repeat until your batter is gone. Once your spätzle are done, dial your oven to 350°, then layer the spätzle in a casserole dish with your cheese. I usually do 2-4 layers, ending with cheese on top. My favorite spätzle cheeses are Gouda, Appenzeller, and Gruyère, but you can get excellent results with Cheddar and Colby Jack as well. Bake the spätzle for about 15 minutes. The point is simply to get the cheese and noddles melted together and make the top a little toasty. You can bake it longer for a crispier top if you'd like. When it's done, serve with the caramelized onions on top. Bon Appétit! Or as the Austrians say: Mahlzeit! http://awesometoast.com/kasespatzle-rezept/
Tips:
- Use the right cheese: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of hard and soft cheeses. A good option is to use a mixture of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Don't overcook the spätzle: Cook the spätzle until it is just tender, about 2-3 minutes. Overcooking will make the spätzle mushy.
- Use a large skillet: This will help to ensure that the spätzle doesn't clump together.
- Cook the spätzle in batches: If you are making a large batch of spätzle, cook it in batches to prevent overcrowding the skillet.
- Serve the spätzle immediately: Spätzle is best served hot, right out of the skillet.
Conclusion:
Käsespätzle is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover bread or cheese. With its rich flavor and cheesy texture, käsespätzle is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
