Bavarian Speckknödel

Ingredients

5 ounces Schaller & Weber Double-smoked Bacon
10 ounces day-old white bread or brotchen
1 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp. milk
2 eggs
white pepper
salt
2 heaping tbsp. flour
2 medium onions
1 tbsp. Meggle Alpine Butter

Cut smoked bacon into finely diced pieces. Chop day old bread/brotchen
into 1 inch chunks. Wash parsley, shake dry and chop finely. Fry bacon
in saucepan until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.

Peel onions and dice. Melt butter in pan and saute onions until golden
brown and set aside.

Add bread chunks to bacon fat and fry until light brown on all sides.
Remove bread from pan, place in mixing bowl and allow to cool. In a separate
bowl, stir together milk, eggs and pepper. Pour over bread and mix well.
Let stand for at least 3 hours.

Combine the flour, bacon, onion and bread-egg mixture and stir together.
Make sure the ingredients are well blended. Dampen hands and form 8 dumplings
from mixture. Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Carefully place
dumplings in boiling water and leave in for 15-20 minutes

Remove dumplings from boiling water and allow water to drain. Arrange
dumplings on a platter and sprinkle with bacon.

We recommend Sauerkraut mit Speck or Bratkartoffeln as excellent side
dishes.
