Every culture has its dumpling. The Austrian version is the Knödel and it's mostly bread with eggs and onions and parsley, all boiled together into either a ball or a sausage-shape. For our recent winter goose meal, I baked the bread that became the Knödel. But the next few dinners were what I really looked forward to: Knödel leftovers or
geröstete Knödel mit Ei (fried dumpling with scrambled egg). You can improvise a lot with this by adding savory fried onions and/or cranberry sauce or apple sauce. Or cheese sprinkled on top. Or bacon if you are the vegetarian-who-eats-bacon. Since it's really the same ingredients as French toast, maybe try some maple syrup. I bet that would be good. But I chuckled when I was having dinner #2 of this delicacy (and I don't use that word lightly) at the fact that we were having bread that had first been baked, then boiled, and now fried.
