Cook spinach in boiling water until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Drain spinach and cool, then chop finely.

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine bread rolls, eggs, flour, sautéed onion and garlic, chopped spinach, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Mix until well combined and form into small dumplings, about the size of a golf ball.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Gently drop dumplings into boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 10-12 minutes.

Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain.

In a separate pan, melt additional butter and toss cooked dumplings to coat.

Serve dumplings garnished with grated parmesan and chopped parsley.
