Heat the milk with the processed cheese, bouillon powder, Parmesan cheese, and pepper over high heat, stirring constantly, until almost boiling. Turn off the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Meanwhile, cut the ham slices into 1 cm squares and add to the sauce. Add the spaetzle/knöpfle/noodles and heat again until almost boiling, stirring frequently. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes, seasoning if desired.
