1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F.

2. Spread sliced rolls onto 2 baking sheets, and bake until slightly dry (12 minutes). Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.

3. Heat oil in a 4 qt saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (10 minutes). Transfer to the bowl with the bread and set aside.

4. Add milk to the saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat, and pour over bread. Add parsley, flour, nutmeg, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and using your hands, mix until evenly combined.

5. Bring an 8 qt saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Moisten hands with cold water, and form bread mixture into 2 inch balls and set aside.
