Cheese Spaetzle

In this video I will show you how to cook Cheese spaetzle or as the Germans say Käsespätzle. This dish is a specialty in the Southern part of Germany called Swabia. Cheese spaetzle are a real German comfort food and kind of the German version of Mac and cheese, but with a very flavorful addition as it is traditionally topped with butter fried crispy onions.
