Cheese Dumplings

Cut rolls/knödel bread and Tilsiter (or Gouda) into small cubes and put into a large bowl.

Add the flour and freshly grated Parmesan to the cheese and briefly combine everything.

Beat the egg, milk, salt and pepper together in a bowl.

Pour the egg-and-milk mixture over the bread and mix everything thoroughly.

Cover the mixture and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Bring plenty of salted water to a boil in a large pot, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

Form dumplings with wet hands (or two spoons).

Place the dumplings into the simmering water and let them cook for about 15 minutes, until they rise to the surface and are done.

Meanwhile, brown the butter in a small pan until it gives off a nutty aroma.

Lift the dumplings out with a slotted spoon, let drain, arrange on plates and serve with chives, a little cheese and the browned butter.
