Servings: 4
  • 5 Bread rolls from the previous day (approx. 300 g)
  • 250 ml Milk
  • 2 small onions
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 5 Stem(s) flat leaf parsley
  • 3 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated nutmeg

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the rolls into approx. 1 x 1 cm small cubes and place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Heat the milk in a small pot and pour over the bread cubes. Mix well with a tablespoon. Let the bread-milk mix soak for about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    In the meantime peel the onions and dice them very finely. Heat butter in a small pot. Fry the onions for about 1 minute while stirring until transparent. Remove from the stove.

  4. 4

    Wash parsley, shake dry, pluck off leaves and chop finely. Whisk eggs in a bowl with a fork. Add onions, parsley and eggs to the bread-milk mix and knead well with your hands.

  5. 5

    Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

  6. 6

    The dumpling mass can be used to form a napkin dumpling. Put the complete dumpling mass on the lower long side of a moistened tea towel and form it into a 18-20 cm long strand.

  7. 7

    Then roll the mass firmly together with the cloth. Tie the ends of the cloth together with kitchen yarn. Hang the roll in the boiling salt water, let the dumpling simmer for 30-40 minutes. Take it out, let it drip off, cut dumplings into slices of about 1 cm thickness.
