Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups cubed day-old bread (about 1/2 inch cubes)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, chopped parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the cooked vegetable mixture to the bread mixture and toss to combine.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and melted butter.
  7. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and vegetable mixture. Toss gently until the bread is evenly moistened.
  8. Spoon the stuffing mixture into the prepared muffin cups, pressing down lightly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the stuffing is heated through.
  10. Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use any type of day-old bread for this recipe. Sourdough or a rustic country bread works well.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth if not making a strictly vegetarian dish.
  • These can be made ahead and reheated.
