Ingredients

ready-made Spaetzle noodles

onion
shredded cheese
salt and black pepper
fresh parsley

Instructions

If using fresh Spaetzle, cook them according to the package instructions. If using pre-cooked or frozen Spaetzle, follow the recommended cooking instructions to heat them through. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the cooked or heated Spaetzle to the skillet with the onions. Toss gently to combine and heat the Spaetzle through for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded Emmental or Gruyère cheese (or a combination of both) over the Spaetzle and onions in the skillet. Stir gently to incorporate the cheese.
Allow the cheese to melt over the Spaetzle mixture, creating a creamy and cheesy coating. Stir occasionally to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed and melted.
Season the Cheese Spaetzle with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for added flavor and color.
Once the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.Serve the Cheese Spaetzle warm as a comforting and satisfying meal.
