Cut stale rolls into cubes, place in mixing bowl with onions. Finely dice bacon and add to bread cubes. Mix eggs with milk and add to bread/bacon mixture. Add flour, butter, parsley, chives, and seasonings and mix well. Let stand approx. 20 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a large pot with water and heat to boiling. Using wet hands, form 8 dumplings.

| Notes: | Tyrolean Bacon Dumplings are a mainstay of everyday Tyrolean food.
There are many different recipes, but the basic elements are bread, bacon or ham. During Lent these dumplings are often made without bacon or ham and are browned in butter before boiling. Such dumplings are known as "Tiroler Fastenknodel" (Tyrolean Lenten Dumplings), and are served with sauerkraut. |
