Add sautéed onion, eggs, parsley, salt, and nutmeg to the soaked bread.

Mix until well combined, then gradually add flour until a dough forms.

Form the dough into balls about the size of a golf ball.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer and gently drop in the dumplings.
