- Transfer mixture into a bowl, add cream cheese and parsley. Mix well.
- In the same pot, add butter, chicken broth, and milk. Bring to a boil. Stir in flour until dough is formed.
- Transfer dough to a flat surface. Knead the dough while it is warm, but not hot.
- Pinch a piece of dough, about the size of a large egg, and roll into a ball. Using your hands, flatten the dough and spoon filling into the center. Wrap the dough into a pear shape and make sure there aren’t any holes.

- Drain on a towel, or wire rack and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

Don't put this size of onions. You have to chop really small, or don't put it. That's how we do in Brazil. And you HAVE to put some cream cheese in the middle.

I didn’t roll it in the bread crumbs twice, it was too much and cooked throughly without as much!

Add tumeric in the dough to add more color. Adding cheese in the filling also helps! Serve with Russian dressing!

Definitely chop the onions smaller as all the other tips say, I would also recommend adding some seasonings to the dough to give it more flavor. Otherwise came out delicious!
