Ingredients
– 1 loaf country-style French bread with crust, cut into 1-inch cubes (approximately 8 cups)
– 10 tablespoons butter
– 10 ounces crimini mushrooms
– 2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced
– 2 cups celery, finely chopped
– ΒΎ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
– 3 large garlic cloves, minced
– 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
– 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 3 large eggs
– 1 ΒΌ cups chicken broth
– 4 ounces coarsely grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1-Preheat and Prep: First, preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and spread the bread cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes until dry, then let them cool. This step ensures your muffins have the perfect texture.
2-Cook the Veggies and Herbs: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sautΓ© the mushrooms for 6 minutes until softened. Add green onions, celery, fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook until the celery is tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Butter a 12-cup muffin tin generously for easy removal later.
3-Mix and Bake: Place the dried bread cubes in a very large bowl and add the warm vegetable and herb mixture; toss to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and chicken broth together, then add this to the stuffing mixture and toss to coat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and use a Β½ cup measuring cup to fill the muffin tin with the mixture.
3-Mix and Bake: Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin with a spatula. Preparation time is 15 minutes, cook time is 30 minutes, and total time is 45 minutes, so itβs quick for a holiday treat!
