Spätzle (with Cheese - Käsespätzle)
Soft, irregular egg noodles layered with melted Emmentaler and topped with crispy fried onions.
Why It Works
The thick batter pushed through a colander creates irregular shapes with maximum surface area for cheese to cling to. Crispy onions add crucial textural contrast.
