Method:
Bacon and Brioche Dumplings:
Add the dried brioche to a large mixing bowl. Heat the milk in a sauce pot over medium heat until it scalds but does not boil. Pour the milk over the bread and mix to fully incorporate. Allow to sit.
Cook the bacon and onions in the butter until the onions are translucent and the bacon is cooked but not crispy.
Add everything to the bread and mix thoroughly.
Use a #16 scoop to portion (or a ¼ C measuring cup). Form into balls and roll in flour.
Bring lightly salted water to a boil in a large pot. Lower to a simmer and add the dumplings. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Happy cooking!
