Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

Mix spätzle flour, eggs, cream, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

Bring a pot of water to a boil.

Use a cheese grater over the pot to drop the dough into the boiling water.

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

Strain the spaetzle out of the water.

Heat oil in a pan and sauté the spaetzle for a few minutes until they are browned.

In a bowl, combine the hot spaetzle with cheese and mix until melted together.

Top with caramelized onions if desired.
