Rinse a pot with cold water. Bring the milk to a boil with 2 pinches of salt and the nutmeg. Mix in the butter and let it melt in the milk. Sprinkle in the semolina, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Then remove the pot from the heat and let the porridge swell for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring plenty of water to a boil and add a little salt. Whisk the eggs and mix them into the slightly cooled porridge. Using a tablespoon dipped in cold water, scoop out dumplings from the semolina mixture, add them to the salted water, and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. When the dumplings are ready, simply transfer them to bowls and pour the soup over them, sprinkling with chives if desired. Tip: The semolina mixture can be a bit spicier, otherwise the dumplings might be too bland in flavor.
