How to cook it
-
Soak the bread roll in the milk for 5 minutes until softened, then squeeze out the excess liquid.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, softened bread, onion, egg, mustard, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and mix gently with your hands until just combined.
-
Shape the mixture into 8 oval patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the patties for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until deeply browned and cooked through.
-
Drain briefly on paper towels and serve warm, or chill and eat cold on bread the next day the way Germans do with leftovers.
