Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (cut into 1-inch pieces) soft pretzels
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 2 stalks (diced) celery
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 cup beer
- 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces (softened) cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon (fresh, chopped) thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large (beaten) eggs
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Spread the pretzel pieces evenly on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until slightly crunchy. Remove and let cool.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
Pour the beer into the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and Dijon mustard. Stir continuously until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted pretzel pieces, the cheese mixture, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until the pretzel pieces are evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable stock and beaten eggs. Pour this mixture over the pretzel mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly moistened.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Pretzel Beer Cheese Stuffing!
