Bread Dumplings with Bacon

Peel and wash the onion, then chop it finely. Wash and chop the parsley, and cut the smoked bacon into small pieces.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the onion until lightly golden. Add the parsley and bacon and continue cooking for a little over 5 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.

Cut the bread rolls into small cubes and place them in a large bowl. Add the sautéed onion, bacon and parsley mixture.

Whisk the egg into the milk, then pour the mixture over the bread. Mix thoroughly and leave it to stand until the bread has absorbed the liquid well.

Once the mixture is fully soaked, add the flour and mix again.

With damp hands, shape the mixture into dumplings approximately the size of an apple.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bread dumplings and cook them over moderate heat for 15 minutes.

Remove the cooked dumplings from the water and serve them in a serving dish or on plates alongside your chosen main dish.
