- For the pasta, mix together eggs, flour, milk and nutmeg. The dough will be quite runny.
- Put the pasta dough onto a wooden board, now scrape with a knife little dumplings about the size of a couple of peas and let each dumpling fall into the boiling water. You can also use what is called a Spätzle machine which is like a giant garlic press or push it through a colander.
- Once the dumplings float on the water, take them out as they are done.
- Add the Spätzle dumplings and the cheese to the frying pan and fry for a couple of minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle some parsley on top.

Tips:
- Use a cheese grater with large holes to grate the Swiss cheese. This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent it from becoming stringy.
- If you don't have a spaetzle maker, you can use a colander with large holes. Simply press the dough through the holes into a pot of boiling water.
- Cook the spaetzle in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pot. This will help to prevent the spaetzle from sticking together.
- Once the spaetzle is cooked, drain it well and then toss it with the melted butter and grated Swiss cheese. This will help to prevent the spaetzle from becoming dry.
- Serve the spaetzle immediately, garnished with additional grated Swiss cheese and chopped parsley.
