In a medium bowl, mash cheese with a fork. Stir in eggs, 1/2 tsp. of the salt, and flour, and mix to form a dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and divide it into 4 pieces. Roll each piece out into a rectangle 12" long & 2" wide. Cut each piece diagonally into about 10 pieces. Bring water to a boil and add 1 tsp. salt. Reduce water to a lightly rolling simmer and add 1/3 of dumplings to pot. Simmer uncovered, until they float to top. Remove with a slotted spoon & drain.Continue until all dumplings are cooked. Serve with a garnish of toasted crumbs.
Makes about 40 dumplings.
