Equipment
- 1 oven safe baking dish
- 1 wooden spoon
- measuring cups
- 1 frying pan
Ingredients
- 12 oz bread cubes
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion minced
- 2 stalks celery minced
- 2 stalks carrots minced
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 2 large eggs whisked
Instructions
- Sautè the minced onion, carrot, and celery in butter until fragrant and soft, approximately 5 minutes, then set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350º. Add cubed bread to an oven-safe baking dish.
- To the bread cubes, add then whisked egg, and spoon the mirepoix over the top then toss to combine and distribute the sautéed vegetables.
- Pour the vegetable stock into the baking dish, coating all of the bread to make sure the bread gets wet with liquid.
- Cover with aluminum foil, then bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, then bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Notes
- Be sure to coat ALL of the cubed bread when adding the liquid as to ensure none of it dries out as it bakes. In my testing, I determined that 3 cups of liquid is plenty to get that jiggly, soggy, texture a classic stuffing is known for!
- If you are going to make your own stuffing cubes, make sure the bread is stale so that it absorbs all of the liquid as it bakes.
