Description

Delightful homemade stuffing bites that bring warmth and flavor to any holiday table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (12–14 oz) dry seasoned bread cubes
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 ribs celery (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 ½ to 2 cups chicken broth (as needed)
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning (or a mix of sage, thyme, rosemary)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional for freshness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a large baking sheet.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the finely chopped onion and celery. Cook until tender, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes with the sautéed vegetables and melted butter. Add poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until cohesive.
  4. Pour in the beaten eggs, stirring to evenly incorporate. Gradually add chicken broth until the mixture is sufficiently moist and holds together.
  5. Scoop portions of the mixture and roll them into golf ball-sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  7. Serve warm, complementing turkey or chicken dinners.

Notes

Experiment with different breads and include nuts or dried fruits for added texture. Bake in batches to ensure even browning.
