Prepare spätzle dough by mixing flour, eggs, and salt until smooth.

Boil water in a large pot and add a pinch of salt.

Press the spätzle dough through a colander into the boiling water.

Cook spätzle until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then drain.

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until translucent.

Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in cooked spätzle and toss to coat in butter and onions.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Pour in white wine and let simmer until reduced, about 3 minutes.

Add cream and stir until combined, then season with black pepper and nutmeg.

Layer spätzle in a baking dish, topping with grated raclette cheese.

Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley and chives before serving.
