Cut the stale bread into small cubes and soften it with the milk for 15 minutes.
Saute the onion in the butter for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the eggs, Grana Padano cheese, sauteed onion, parsley, flour, salt, and black pepper to the bread.
Shape the mixture into balls the size of a large walnut; if the surface cracks, lightly wet your palms.
Bring the meat broth to a boil and drop in the canederli.
Cook the canederli at a gentle simmer for 14-16 minutes, then leave them for 2 more minutes after they float to the surface.
Ladle the canederli into bowls with the hot broth and sprinkle with a little parsley.
💡 Tip: Do not grind the stale bread into flour in a food processor; coarse crumbs, like bread used in Turkish kofte, give canederli a better structure.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the canederli in bowls with hot meat broth, with an optional parsley green salad on the side to lighten the meal.
