== Description ==
Käs Spätzle is a German/Bavarian dish my Oma always makes. This is her recipe!
== Ingredients ==
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 6 – 8 eggs (or 6 jumbo eggs)
* 2 teaspoons of salt
* 10 oz grated Swiss cheese
* medium onion
* 3 tablespoons butter
== Directions ==
# Mix one pound flour, 6 – 8 eggs, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Really whip and stir until paste forms bubbles. This may take some time, a wooden spoon works best.
# Depending on the size of the eggs you may have to add some water until the paste is semi-pasty.
# Boil a large pot of water and add in a teaspoon of salt and touch of oil.
# To make the noodles a spätzle hobel works best but a large holed colander will also do.
# Pour dough into the hobel and move back and forth so noodles drop into the boiling water.
# When all dough is turned into noodles, stir boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
# As the spätzle noodles rise to the top use a skimmer or holed spoon to take them out and place in large bowl.
# Do not rinse the spätzle.
# As you place the spätzle in bowl make a layer of spätzle then put a layer of swiss cheese, repeat until all cheese and noodles are in bowl.
# Take a large spoon and stir cheese and spätzle together.
# Cover with lid.
# To add onions: chop up a medium onion.
# Heat 3 tablespoons of butter and cook onions until brown.
# Pour onions over the käs spätzle and cover with lid.
# The dish is ready to serve.
# To warm: put in oven on 320 °F for 15 minutes.
