Cheesy Spaetzle with Fried Onions

Bring water to a boil in a large pot and salt it generously (approx. 2 tablespoons of salt for 4 liters of water).

In a bowl, mix the flour, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until you get a smooth, elastic dough.

Using a spaetzle maker or spaetzle press, drop the dough into the boiling water in several batches. Cook each batch for approx. 2 minutes, until they float to the surface.
