One serving has 535 kcal and 25 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of vitamin K (80%), selenium (76%), phosphorus (58%), riboflavin (53%), calcium (50%) and cobalamin (49%). Ready in 45 minutes.
- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (499 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Contains: beef, celery, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 60 g White bread rolls, a day old
- 40 g Milk, whole
- 25 g Egg
- 15 g Onion
- 5 g Butter
- 35 g Mountain cheese (Bergkäse) or Graukäse
- 5 g Flour, all-purpose
- 3 g Parsley, fresh
- 3 g Chives
- 0.1 g Black pepper
- 0.05 g Nutmeg
- 8 g Vegetable oil (for frying, the part absorbed)
- 300 g Beef broth
Method
- Cut the bread rolls into small cubes and put them in a bowl. Cut the cheese into small cubes or grate it coarsely.
- Fry the finely chopped onion in the butter for 3-4 minutes until soft. Whisk the egg with the milk, pepper and nutmeg (the cheese and the broth bring the salt) and pour it over the bread with the onion. Mix and leave it for 15 minutes to soak.
- Add the cheese, the flour, the chopped parsley and half the chives, and work it lightly with your hands until it holds together; add a little more bread or flour if it is too wet.
- With wet hands shape it into balls, two to a serving, and press them flat into patties about 2 cm thick.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the patties over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp and the cheese has melted inside. Drain them on kitchen paper.
- Bring the broth to the boil. Put the dumplings in warm deep plates, ladle the hot broth over them and scatter with the rest of the chives. Serve at once, as the dumplings soak up the broth quickly.
