- Create a well in the flour mixture's center and pour the whisked eggs and ½ cup of milk into it.

- Top with grated parmesan cheese as desired.
Notes
You can customize the thickness of your spaetzle noodles by adjusting the batter consistency.
For a flavored version, consider adding herbs to the dough for more depth of flavor.
