Notes
For best results, use a flavorful cheese like cheddar or Gruyère to enhance the taste of your dumplings. If you prefer a crispier texture, consider lightly frying the dumplings in butter after boiling. Resting the cooked dumplings for a few minutes allows them to firm up slightly, making them easier to handle. Garnish with additional fresh parsley for added color and aroma.
