Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of stale bread, cubed (about 8 cups)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped (or 1 tsp dried sage)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, cooked vegetables, fresh sage, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the chicken broth over the mixture, stirring gently to moisten the bread cubes.
- Add the beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the bread cubes are fully moistened.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve these Savory Stuffing Balls as a standalone side dish or alongside your favorite holiday meats and vegetables. Their unique presentation and delicious taste will make them a hit at any gathering. Enjoy the perfect blend of flavors and textures in every bite! 🍽️
