8 Servings
Ingredients
- 18 to 24 oz. bread cubes about 1.5 loaves or 12 to 14 c, preferably stale or toasted
- 1 c unsalted butter
- 3 c diced sweet onion about 2 large onions
- 2 c diced celery
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp. chopped fresh sage
- 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 ½ c chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 large eggs beaten
- Fresh herb mix for garnish
Instructions
- If you're using fresh bread cut it into cubes. Toast them in the oven at 350°F until they become crispy. Alternatively you can leave the bread out overnight to let it become stale.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking dish measuring 9x13 inches using butter, olive oil or nonstick spray.
- In a skillet melt some butter. Add onions, celery and garlic along, with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook them until they become soft. Then mix in sage, parsley and rosemary before adding one cup of stock.
- Take a bowl. Place the bread cubes in it. Pour over the vegetable mixture along with stock from earlier. Give it a toss to ensure everything is well-mixed.
- In another bowl whisk together the remaining stock and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread mixture while stirring everything together.
- Transfer everything into your baking dish. Bake for around 45 to 50 minutes until it turns brown on top. If you notice browning happening quickly simply cover it with foil.
- Before serving garnish it with some herbs, for that extra touch of flavor.
Notes
If you're following a lifestyle you don't have to miss out on the lusciousness of a classic Thanksgiving stuffing. Just swap the bread cubes with your gluten-free bread. There are a lot of choices that simulate the texture and flavor of traditional bread. When choosing gluten bread go for varieties that can hold up well to the stock and eggs without becoming soggy. To achieve that combination of a crispy exterior and moist interior try toasting the gluten-free bread cubes a bit longer than you would with regular bread. Also remember to ensure that all other ingredients, such, as broth and seasonings are certified gluten-free friendly.
