Whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt, vigorously whisking to form a stiff dough. Bring plenty of salted water to a boil and rub the dough into the water using a dumpling strainer, stirring briefly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. Cook for about 2 minutes, then strain and refresh with cold water. Heat a little butter and briefly fry the bacon cubes. Add the leek and fry briefly. Then add the spaetzle and pour the cream over the bacon. Heat, mix everything well, and season to taste. Finally, stir in the cheese pieces and serve immediately.
