 * 2 teaspoons of salt
 * 10 oz grated Swiss cheese
 * medium onion
 * 3 tablespoons butter

Directions

 * 1) 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.
 * 2) Depending on the size of the eggs you may have to add some water until the paste is semi-pasty.
 * 3) Boil a large pot of water and add in a teaspoon of salt and touch of oil.
 * 4) To make the noodles a spätzle hobel works best but a large holed colander will also do.
 * 5) Pour dough into the hobel and move back and forth so noodles drop into the boiling water.
 * 6) When all dough is turned into noodles, stir boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
 * 7) As the spätzle noodles rise to the top use a skimmer or holed spoon to take them out and place in large bowl.
 * 8) Do not rinse the spätzle.
 * 9) 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.
 * 10) Take a large spoon and stir cheese and spätzle together.
 * 11) Cover with lid.
 * 12) To add onions: chop up a medium onion.
 * 13) Heat 3 tablespoons of butter and cook onions until brown.
 * 14) Pour onions over the käs spätzle and cover with lid.
 * 15) The dish is ready to serve.
