Place a large pot of salted water on the stove and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the dough.
Once the water is boiling, press the spaetzle dough into the water using a spaetzle strainer or a spaetzle slicer. If you have neither at hand, you can also scrape the dough into the water piece by piece from a cutting board.
Once the spaetzle rise and float to the surface, drain the water.
Heat the clarified butter in a large frying pan and fry the spaetzle briefly in it. Add the grated mountain cheese, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Sprinkle the cheese spaetzle with chopped chives and serve.
Preparation Tip:
The cheese spaetzle tastes best with a bowl of fresh green leaf salad.
