Ingredients

• 200 grams Day-old bread or rolls
• 250 ml Whole milk
• 30 grams Butter
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (grated)
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 liters Vegetable or beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Chives (fresh, chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the day-old bread or rolls into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small pan, heat the milk until warm but not boiling. Pour the warm milk over the bread cubes and let it soak for about 10 minutes until the bread has softened.

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, eggs, flour, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the bread mixture. Use your hands or a spoon to mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture holds together. If the mixture feels too wet, add a small amount of additional flour.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into small, even portions, and form them into dumplings about the size of a golf ball. Set aside on a plate or parchment paper.

Step 6

Bring the vegetable or beef broth to a gentle boil in a large pot.

Step 7

Carefully add the bread dumplings to the simmering broth. Reduce the heat to low, ensuring the broth is just gently simmering, and cook the dumplings for 15-20 minutes. They are done when they float to the surface and expand slightly.

Step 8

Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the broth and dumplings into serving bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately.
