👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Place the bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour the lukewarm milk over them and let soak for about 10-15 minutes, until softened.
- 2
While the bread is soaking, sauté the finely chopped onion in butter in a small pan until translucent. Let it cool slightly.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Don't brown the onion, just soften it. - 3
Add the eggs, grated Gruyère and Emmental cheeses, sautéed onion, chopped parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the soaked bread cubes. Mix gently but thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms. If the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon or two of breadcrumbs. If too dry, add a splash more milk.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the dumplings tough. - 4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Using wet hands or two spoons, form small dumplings (about 3-4 cm in diameter) from the cheese mixture.
- 5
Carefully slide the dumplings into the simmering water. Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary. Simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and are cooked through.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: The water should be simmering, not boiling vigorously, to prevent the dumplings from falling apart. - 6
While the dumplings are cooking, heat the beef broth in a separate pot until hot. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste.
- 7
Carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the simmering water with a slotted spoon and place them into serving bowls. Ladle the hot beef broth over the dumplings.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure the dumplings are well-drained before serving to avoid diluting the broth. - 8
Garnish with a little extra chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
