Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups celery chopped
  • 3 carrots finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 9 cups soft bread cubes
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage

  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Non-stick cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. In a skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion, celery, and carrots until they are tender and fragrant.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the soft bread cubes, chopped fresh parsley, eggs, and chicken stock.
  4. Season the mixture with salt, dried sage, ground sage, dried thyme leaves, and fresh ground black pepper. Stir in the raisins gently to keep some of the bread cubes intact.

  6. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully crisp and golden brown.

Notes

This recipe offers a creative twist on the classic stuffing dish by turning it into individual, crispy-edge muffins that are both easy to serve and customize. You can swap regular bread for a gluten-free option, use dried cranberries in place of raisins, or add diced apples for extra crunch. The muffins are a great make-ahead dish, and leftovers can be repurposed for breakfast or turned into a savory soup component. Their portability makes them an ideal addition to any holiday table.
