Cheese dumplings

First, chop the white bread into small pieces. Then, warm the milk and pour it lukewarm over the bread cubes. Let it soften briefly. Cut the cheese into small cubes. Chop the onion and fry it in butter. Add the cheese, onion, flour, eggs, chives, parsley, and salt to the bread. With wet hands, shape the mixture into 18-20 tablespoon-sized dumplings. Boil gently in salted water for 15 minutes. Remove the dumplings from the water, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and drizzle with brown butter.
