Original Bavarian

Remove the salt from the pretzels or pretzel sticks. Cut the pretzels or pretzel sticks into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Crack the eggs into the milk and whisk with a hand blender or whisk. Season with nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the pretzels, stir in the parsley and onion. Season with salt and pepper, and let stand for 20 minutes. Spread out a sheet of aluminum foil, place a sheet of plastic wrap on top (matte side down), and spread the dumpling mixture lengthwise on top. First wrap the mixture in the plastic wrap, then roll the aluminum foil up like a sausage. Twist the ends tightly together. Let the pretzel dumplings stand in almost boiling water for about 20 minutes. Unwrap the dumplings and cut into approximately 1.5 cm slices. This is best done with twine (make a loop around the dumpling and pull the ends apart) or with an electric knife.
