Cut the bread (rolls) into small cubes. Smaller pieces are better than bigger ones!
Add the bread cubes to a large bowl, pour the hot milk over them, mix them, and let them soak for 10-15 minutes.
Heat the butter in a small frying pan over low-medium heat. Dice the onion and chop the parsley. Add the onion to the hot butter and saute until translucent. Add the chopped parsley and saute for another minute. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool down.
Once the onion mixture has cooled down, add it to the soaked bread mixture, and mix all the ingredients. In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs and pour tthem over the bread-onion mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Over medium heat, bring a wide pot of lightly salted water to a boil. While the water is heating, form the dumplings. With wet hands, form evenly big dumplings about the size of a tennis ball.
Carefully slide the dumplings into the boiling water. Immediately turn the heat to low. Cook them for about 20 minutes. When done, remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon.
