Baked Cheesy Spaetzle

Preheat oven to 140°C (approximately 280°F). In a large pot, bring plenty of salted water to a boil. In a bowl, quickly mix flour, eggs, nutmeg, milk and salt to taste until a firm dough develops. Immediately use a spaetzle cutter or wet knife to cut spaetzle. Drop spaetzle into boiling salted water and let simmer a few minutes.

Spaetzle are cooked when they float to the surface. With a slotted spoon, remove spaetzle from the water and let drain. Toss spaetzle with melted butter. In a baking dish, layer spaetzle alternately with grated cheese. Cover and bake until cheese melts.
