Method

  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt together to make a thick, smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Press the batter through a spätzle press or colander with large holes directly into the water, cooking in batches for 2-3 minutes until the spätzle float, then lift out with a slotted spoon.

  3. 3

    Melt half the butter in a large frying pan and fry the sliced onions over low heat for 15-18 minutes, stirring often, until deep golden and caramelised.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining butter and the drained spätzle to the pan, tossing to coat, then scatter over the grated gruyere and stir through until melted.

  5. 5

    Scatter over the snipped chives and serve.
