Ingredients

  • 250 g (8.8 oz / 1¾ cups ) white crustless bread, finely diced
  • 250 ml (8.5 fl oz / 1 cup) milk
  • 2–3 eggs
  • 250 g (8.8 oz / 2½ cups) grated cheese (e.g. Pinzgauer beer cheese, Tyrolean grey cheese )
  • 50 g (1.8 oz) butter
  • 1 onion , thinly-sliced
  • 1 pinch each of salt , pepper , parsley , and caraway seeds
  • Flour

Directions

1

Mix the eggs with the milk.

2

Soak the white bread in the egg mixture. Knead and then let it rest.

3

Brown the onions with the butter in a pan.

4

Add the cooked onions, salt, pepper, parsley, caraway seeds, and grated cheese to the white bread. Add the flour and let the mixture rest for a further 10 minutes.

5

Form dumplings that are approximately the size of a golf ball, then press them flat (about 2–3 cm / 0.8–1.2 inch thick). Forming them is easiest when your hands are slightly wet.

6

Heat some butter or oil in a pan, and put in the pressed cheese dumplings. Cook them on one side and then the other until golden brown.

7

Place the dumplings on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.

8

Serve the dumplings in a beef broth, with sauerkraut or a green salad. Enjoy!
