It is the start of several Famous Dishes. Here is one.

Put the Cooked Egg Noodles, some Diced Ham and the Swiss Cheese (I do
not use cheese in this recipe) in a baking dish, which you have
smeared with butter and sprinkled with unflavored bread crumbs. Mix
well one or two eggs with milk, salt and pepper and pour over the
noodles. Dot the top with butter and sprinkle more breadcrumbs over it.

Bake until the top is nice and golden brown and crispy crunchy. If
made as a main course, serve with Cucumber Salad.

Voila, you have just made Schinkenfleckerln, a very famous dish in
Austria. )

And I suggested kasespatzle (kasespatzlen?) so he's got the Austrian
ideas down tight now... ) LOL
