Bayerische Semmelklösse is a popular dish in the Bavarian region of Germany. Semmelklösse are made from stale bread rolls that have been soaked in milk until they are soft. The rolls are then mixed with eggs, bacon, onions, and parsley to create a stuffing-like mixture. The mixture is then formed into balls and baked in the oven until golden brown. Bayerische Semmelklösse are often served as a side dish to roasted meats or as a main course with lentil soup and sauerkraut.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Cut the rolls into small pieces and add them to a large bowl.
3.	Pour the warmed milk over the rolls and let them soak until soft.
4.	In a skillet, cook the bacon until it is crispy and brown.
5.	Add the bacon and onions to the bowl with the rolls and milk.
6.	Add the parsley flakes, softened butter, and eggs to the mixture.
7.	Season with salt and pepper.
8.	Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
9.	Shape the mixture into 8-10 large balls.
10.	Bake the balls in a greased ovenproof dish for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot.
