Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large, diced yellow onion
- 3 medium, diced celery stalks
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon, dried (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped) sage
- 1.5 teaspoons, dried (or 2 teaspoons fresh, chopped) thyme
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 10 cups day-old bread cubes
- 2.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 large eggs
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, add the day-old bread cubes. Pour the sautéed vegetable mixture over the bread, mixing to combine evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and eggs. Gradually pour this mixture over the bread, tossing gently until the bread is fully moistened but not overly soggy.
Evenly divide the stuffing mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing gently to pack each cup full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops of the stuffing muffins are golden and crisp.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Serve warm as a delightful and portable Thanksgiving side dish!
