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

Remove spaetzle with a slotted spoon and drain.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Layer cooked spaetzle, cheese, and sautéed onions in a baking dish.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
