Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 6 cups day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, sautéed vegetable mixture, chicken or vegetable broth, beaten eggs, parsley, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until the bread is evenly coated and the mixture starts to come together.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Corn Stuffing Bake as a delightful side dish!
