Introduce the spaetzle maker and explain it is affordable and easy to use.

Prepare the ingredients by measuring 3 cups of flour and adding a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add milk and eggs to the flour mixture to create a somewhat runny dough.

Stir the mixture using a rubber spatula until well combined, keeping extra flour and water on hand for adjustments.

Load the batter into the spaetzle maker and demonstrate how to push it back and forth to form the spaetzle.

Show the spaetzle cooking in boiling water and explain that some may fall on the floor during the process.

Once cooked, turn off the stove and transfer the spaetzle to a bowl with butter.

Add Gouda, Swiss, and mozzarella cheese to the spaetzle and mix gently to avoid clumping.

Finish by adding parsley as a flavor element.
