Share:
Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 Tablespoon butter
- 7 ounces bread cubed, *see Notes, stale
- 7 ounces cheese grated, *see Notes
- 2 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 egg
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- ¼ Teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 Teaspoon oregano or Marjoram, dried
- 6.7 fluid ounces milk
Instructions
- Heat up a pan with 1 tablespoon butter and sautee your onion soft. Take from heat when done and keep aside.
- Add to a large bowl the sauteed onion, stale bread cut in cubes, cheese, all-purpose flour, eggs, salt, black pepper, oregano or marjoram, and the milk.
- Mix it all with your hands to a semi-dry/wet mass. It should be able to stick together. If it's too wet or dry adjust by adding small quantities of flour, stale bread or milk.
- Leave the mass to rest for 30 minutes at least.
- Mix again the mass before shaping and then take some bread dumpling mass into your hand and shape into a tight sticking ball. Repeat the process with the remaining mass and keep the dumplings on a pan.
- Heat up the same pan from earlier with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Wait for it to get hot but don't get to smoking point.
- Take dumplings and press into the hot pan to create flattened dumplings. Fill up the pan but don't overcrowd. There should be enough space to turn the dumplings.
- Control the heat all the time and turn dumplings to cook on both sides golden crispy.
- Serve still hot. See serving suggestions in the post.
Notes
- You can use stale bread or you can buy prepared cubed stale bread, just like the one you would use for your thanksgiving stuffing.
- Pick a flavorful cheese of your choice. We use mountain cheese but something like a sharp cheddar is a good choice too.
