Preparation: 

• In a bowl, combine the 600g flour, eggs, 1 tsp salt and the measured water, adding just enough water to make a thick dough (you may not need it all). Set aside to rest for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, season the onion rings with salt and dust with the 2 tablespoons flour.
• Heat 6 tbsp of the oil in a heavy-based pan. When hot, add the onion rings and fry until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes, turning regularly so they don't burn. Set aside.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease a baking dish with butter.
• Put the dough in portions into a spaetzle press, press into the boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes until the spaetzle rise to the top.
• Remove with a skimmer, rinse briefly with cold water and drain. Repeat until all the spaetzle are cooked.
• Season the spaetzle with salt and nutmeg and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the Comté on top and stir it in gently. Bake for 10–15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the vinaigrette, whisk together the vinegar, honey and mustard in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk in the remaining 4 tbsp oil drop by drop. Stir in the shallot.
• Put the salad leaves in a large bowl and dress with the vinaigrette just before serving.
• Serve the spaetzle on a serving platter with the fried onions on top, sprinkle with parsley, and serve the salad on the side.
