I only made the spaetzle from the recipe but I just wanted to say it was GREAT! I was a little worried about how potent the amount of nutmeg was but it turned out to be a great flavor in the finished dish. Thanks for sharing!

I am studying abroad in Germany right now and this is my all time favorite food here, and this recipe is perfect! tastes just like at my favorite restaurant. I may have added more cheese than the recipe said, because I love cheese, turned out amazing. thanks

Spaetzlemakers make life way easier! I have been on several long trips to Germany and Austria and I love this--it's great comfort food. I also tried making this with Gruyere, as a previous reviewer recommended, and it's delicious that way, too! Great recipe! I normally can't stand onions, but I love love love this recipe.

This is a FANTASTIC recipe. I made it for my father (who's German and LOVES spaetzle. He said it was the best he's ever had. He loved the "new" take on an old classic. I'm making it again for Christmas dinner! My husband and I have been craving it since we first served it in June. Thank you!

To the reviewer below this, Emmenthaler is Swiss cheese. Just use whatever swiss the grocery store has and it will turn out fine. I was a foreign exchange student in Austria a few years ago and love Kaese Spaetzle! We have it for dinner often. I use a different Spaetzle recipe that has more milk and fewer eggs, but the procedure with the onions and cheese is just like how I do it.

This sounds wonderful but where do you find this type of cheese. Is there anything similiar to it that I could substitute. My grandparents were german and we always had spaetzle and sauerbraten for Christmas. This would be special. Thanks.

I usually do not give out 5 stars, however, this recipe deserves it - as far as spaetzle goes. I spent 6 months in Germany last year and personally, could live without spaetzle. This recipe however is better than any I had in Germany or Austria. I did crisp up some bacon and added the onions to get them nice and caramelized. I sauteed the spaetzle in the bacon and onion mixture before adding the cheese. It really was good! My husband loved it (he grew up in Germany eating tons of spaetzle) as did everybody else, including the kids. Thanks for the recipe - am making again tonight for an Oktoberfest dinner party!

Oh man, this was wonderful! I didn't have the cheese it called for, so I used half colby and half fontina (I know, I know), but it turned out GREAT and it would have been better with the original cheese. I would recommend that people get a spaetzle press/maker because using a colander is a pain. Good recipe!!! None left.

Ok, lately I haven't been able to get my kids to eat anything I have been making for dinner but finally we have found a WINNER! This is really good. I lightened up on the onions so the kids would eat it but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I couldn't find my ricer (it doen't get used very often:)so I used a cheese grater and my Pampered Chef plunger measuring cup. I just held the measuring cup against the back side of the grater and pushed the batter thru as I slid the grater back and forth. Made perfect dumplings. I will definitely be making this again!

We just came back from Germany where my cousin made this for us. This was very close to hers and the kids loved it.

We live in the Netherlands/Germany/Belguim area and I try to get this dish in the restaurants when we go out. My whole family agrees that this is just like eating out. It was also very easy to make. Recommend highly.

This was interesting. Could not find the cheese that was originally called for in the recipe so I used Muenster cheese. I did not have any special gizmos other than a colander and the holes were too small so I actually ended up making what could be described as ugly dumplings and after I cooked them I cut them up into tiny pieces. Taste, was really "interesting" and I could really see how this could be a comfort food. I could see myself making this again but only if I have the proper equipment. Really made a mess without it!!

Delicious! Thank you! I used to live in Germany and this was one of the only dishes I missed. Now that I'm pregnant I HAD to have it! I used gruyere since I had it on hand and it hit the spot.

EXACTLY as it tasted when I had the "real" stuff in Germany! I had so much fun with this recipe - I currently don't own a spaetzle maker, but you can bet I will invest in one since I found this recipe. I improvised, using a flat bottomed colander even though it didn't fit perfectly over the pot, it worked well enough. I am soooooo happy I stumbled upon this recipe; can't say enough good things about it. Thank you so much!

If you like this recipe, I suggest you invest in a Spaetzlemaker. Any specialty cooking store should cary it. This tool makes it so much easiert to convert plain dough into perfect little dumplings. I am from Austria (the original Spaetzle country) and Kaese Spaetzle are the ultimate comfort food for me.

Delicious comfort food! Easy to make. I made the recipe as is and wouldn't change a thing.
