Creating Frikadellen is as straightforward as it is satisfying. Here’s how you can make them:

1. **Prepare the Bread**: Start by soaking the bread roll in a bit of milk until it’s soft. This step ensures your Frikadellen are moist and tender, much like the texture of my abuela’s fluffy tortillas.

2. **Mix Ingredients**: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onions, parsley, egg, mustard, and the softened bread. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if you like. Mixing these by hand ensures everything is well incorporated, just the way I learned in our family kitchen.

3. **Shape the Patties**: Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm. This part always reminds me of rolling dough for empanadas with my siblings, each of us creating our own little masterpieces.

4. **Cook the Frikadellen**: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties until they’re golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. The sizzle and aroma will remind you of a bustling kitchen full of love and laughter.
