👨🍳 Directions
🔹 1. Prepare the Bread Cubes
Place the dry bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. If the bread isn’t fully dry, toast it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes.
🔹 2. Cook the Vegetables
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
🔹 3. Combine Ingredients
Pour the cooked vegetables over the bread cubes. Add the sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring until the mixture holds together but is not overly wet.
Stir in the beaten eggs to bind the mixture.
🔹 4. Form the Balls
With your hands, shape the stuffing mixture into 12 balls (about 1 1/2 inches each).
Place them on a greased baking sheet.
🔹 5. Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
🔹 6. Serve
Serve warm, alongside your favorite holiday dishes, or topped with a generous drizzle of gravy.
