Instructions
- Boil water in a large pot. Once water is boiled, add spätzle and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.
- In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a pan. Once heated, add sliced onions and sautee until cooked. For truly delicious flavor, spend about 30-40 minutes slowly caramelizing the onions. Alternatively, deep fry the onions in vegetable oil if you'd like a crispier topping.
- Once spätzle is cooked through, drain the water and return the spätzle to the pot.
- Add all of the cheese to the pot and add milk a little at a time. Mix until the cheese sauce becomes creamy, adding more milk as necessary.
- Add most of the onions to the pot and combine into spätzle mixture. Use remaining onion to top spätzle. Enjoy!
