Savory Stuffing Balls – your new holiday favorite!
Ingredients:
– 4 cups dry bread cubes
– 1 cup onion, finely chopped
– 1 cup celery, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon dried sage
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup chicken broth (add more if needed for consistency)
– 2 large eggs, beaten
Directions:
Prepare the Bread Cubes:
Place the dry bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. If your bread cubes aren’t fully dry, toast them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes.
Cook the Vegetables:
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine Ingredients:
Pour the cooked vegetables over the bread cubes. Add the sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined. Pour in the chicken broth a little at a time until the mixture holds together but isn’t too wet. Stir in the beaten eggs to bind the mixture.
Form the Balls:
Using your hands, shape the stuffing mixture into 12 balls (about 1 1/2 inches each) and place them on a greased baking sheet.
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the stuffing balls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve:
Serve the Savory Stuffing Balls warm, alongside your favorite holiday dishes, or with a drizzle of gravy.
