all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

onions

🥗Healthier: green onions

💰Cheaper: shallots

Green onions offer a milder flavor, while shallots can be less costly.

Mix flour, eggs, milk, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl until smooth.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Spoon the batter through a spaetzle maker or colander into the boiling water.

Cook until the spaetzle float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the spaetzle with a slotted spoon and drain.

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté sliced onions until golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Layer half of the spaetzle in a baking dish and top with half of the cheese.

Add the remaining spaetzle and cheese, then top with sautéed onions.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
