German Kaese Spaetzle is a traditional German dish that is similar to Italian pasta dishes. It's usually served as a main dish and topped with grated cheese. Spaetzle is made from a simple dough that consists of flour, eggs, and milk. The dough is then pressed through a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes to create small dumplings. The dumplings are boiled until they float to the top and then mixed with grated cheese to create a creamy and delicious dish.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
2.	In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
3.	Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet egg mixture, stirring constantly until a dough forms.
4.	Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
5.	Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the dough into the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the spaetzle floats to the top.
6.	Remove the spaetzle with a slotted spoon and place it in a large bowl. Top it with grated cheese and mix well.
7.	Serve immediately and enjoy!
