Base Ingredients
- 1 box Stuffing mix or dried seasoned bread cubes (Choose a savory herb type for extra flavor.)
- 2 cups Broth (Chicken or turkey broth recommended.)
- 2 large Eggs (Used to bind the mixture.)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (For sautéing vegetables and flavor.)
Optional Flavor Add-Ins
- 1 small Onion (Diced, sauté until soft.)
- 2 stalks Celery (Diced, optional but recommended.)
- 1/4 cup Fresh herbs (Like parsley, sage, or thyme.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Sauté diced onion and celery in butter until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes, then let them cool.
- In a big bowl, add stuffing mix, the cooked veggies, and chopped herbs if using.
- Whisk eggs with warm broth, then pour over the stuffing mix. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Test the texture. It should feel moist and hold together when squeezed. Adjust with more broth or stuffing mix as necessary.
Baking
- Roll the mixture into medium-sized balls (about 1.5 inches) and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F for 18 to 24 minutes until golden brown on top.
- For extra crisp, brush the tops lightly with melted butter halfway through baking.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, use an oven or air fryer for best results.
