Looking for a fun and flavorful twist on traditional stuffing? These simple stuffing balls are just what you need! Perfect for Thanksgiving or as a tasty side dish for dinner parties, these crispy, golden bites combine the heartiness of stuffing with the added crunch of herbs and a touch of butter. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is simple, budget-friendly, and will impress your guests every time!
Start by cutting the day-old bread into small cubes. If you don't have day-old bread, you can toast the fresh bread in the oven for about 10 minutes to dry it out.
In a pan, heat a tablespoon of butter and sauté the onion and garlic until they're soft and fragrant—about 3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, sautéed onions and garlic, herbs, and cheese (if using). Slowly pour in the vegetable or chicken broth until the bread is moistened but not soggy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the mixture is combined, shape it into small balls using your hands (about the size of a golf ball).
Place the stuffing balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Let the stuffing balls rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
