Oma's Cheese Spatzle

This was another dish served at the Eve-Eve dinner.  It called for Emmentaler cheese but that was really expensive so we used Swiss cheese instead.  I also bought some European egg noodles because I knew there wouldn't be time to make the Spatzle noodles from scratch and I wouldn't been annoyed if they didn't turn out, since I've never done them before.  :)  We also omitted the onions because there were lots of onion haters at dinner.  :)

Oma's Cheese Spatzle

3-4 C. cooked Spatzle (12 oz. dry Spatzle)
2-3 C. shredded Emmentaler or Swiss cheese
2 Tbsp butter or olive oil
2 small onions, sliced
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 325°.  Heat butter (or oil) in skillet and saute onions until tender and lightly browned, about 5-10 minutes.  Butter casserole dish.  Begin by layering with 1/2 of the Spatzle, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with 1/2 of the cheese.  Repeat, ending with the cheese.  Top with the sauteed onions, if using.  Bake, uncovered, about 20-30 minutes, or until bubbly and slightly browned on top.
Serves 4-6
