• 1 large onion;
  
• 1 chicken egg;

Also, do not be alarmed if you need a little less milk or a little more - it should be just enough so that the bread is almost liquid, but there are no strong "puddles". Add the egg to the mashed bread and bring to a homogeneous consistency, then thoroughly mix the mixture with the minced meat, form cutlets and put them in a colander.
