bread rolls

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber.

Pour 100 ml of milk over 2 bread rolls and let it soak.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan.

Chop 2 shallots and sauté them in the melted butter until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, without browning them.

In a bowl, combine the soaked bread rolls, sautéed shallots, 3 eggs, 100 g of grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Let the mixture rest for about 30-45 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the moisture.

Prepare a steamer with water and bring it to a simmer.

Form the mixture into dumplings and place them in the steamer.

Steam the dumplings at 100°C for 20-25 minutes, ensuring not to boil but to simmer gently.

Serve the dumplings topped with brown butter and Parmesan cheese, garnished with cress.
