Ham Dumplings

Cut the white bread into small cubes, place them in a large bowl and pour over the milk.

Toss the bread cubes briefly and let them soak for a few minutes until the milk is mostly absorbed.

Finely chop the onion and sauté it with the ham cubes in a little oil until golden.

Add the eggs, the sautéed onions and ham, flour, salt, thyme, parsley and chives to the bread mixture and knead everything into a smooth dough.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

With slightly moistened hands, form small dumplings from the mixture and set them aside.

Place the dumplings into the gently boiling salted water and let them simmer gently for about 15 minutes.

Lift the ham dumplings out with a slotted spoon, let them drain, sprinkle with cheese and serve with salad.
