Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups gluten-free bread cubes, lightly toasted (about 1-inch cubes)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium celery stalks, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option), warm
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for sautéing vegetables)
  • Optional: handful of chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: dried cranberries or chopped apples for sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread gluten-free bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway, until lightly golden and dry but not browned.
  2. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery; cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Stir in rosemary, sage, and thyme; toast with veggies for about 30 seconds to release oils and fragrance.
  5. Transfer toasted bread cubes to a large mixing bowl. Pour sautéed vegetable and herb mixture over cubes.
  6. Slowly add warm chicken broth, stirring gently to coat bread evenly without breaking it apart.
  7. Add beaten eggs, salt, and pepper; fold gently until combined. Mixture should be moist but not soggy. Add more broth if needed.
  8. Pour stuffing mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  9. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes until top is crispy and golden.
  10. Let stuffing rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  11. Optional: For extra crispness, broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully to prevent burning.

Notes

Toast the bread cubes to prevent sogginess. Warm broth before adding to avoid gummy texture. Fold gently to maintain bread cube shape. Use fresh herbs for best flavor. Cover with foil if crust browns too fast. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and eggs with flax eggs.
