A large pot with salted water is boiled.
If using only a board a spoon of dough is swept over the kitchen board with the grater and then small pieces of the dough is cut/grated with the grater into the hot water. If using a spaetzle-maker, a spoon of the dough is put into the maker and pressed through the holes into the water.

The spaetzles can be removed from the water with a slotted spoon and put into a bowl.
A thin layer of shredded cheese is put over the noodles.
The procedures is repeated until no dough is left.
Onions are cut, sautéed with butter, and put over the spaetzles.
