Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12–14 oz.) loaf gluten-free bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 stalks celery, sliced or diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, ghee, or melted butter
- ½–1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- ½–1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- ¼–½ teaspoon dried sage
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 egg
- Optional: 4–6 oz cooked crumbled sausage
- Optional: 1 small apple, diced
- Optional: ¼–½ cup dried cranberries or cherries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 50–60 minutes until dried out but not browned. Let cool completely.
- Increase oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish. Use a 9×13 dish if doubling the recipe.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil or butter. Sauté onion, celery, and apple (if using) for 6–8 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute. Season with rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper.
- If adding sausage or dried fruit, stir them in now. In a large bowl, combine dried bread cubes and veggie mixture.
- In another bowl, whisk broth and egg. Slowly pour over stuffing mix, folding gently until moist but not soggy.
- Transfer to prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Serve warm. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or microwave.
Notes
Use your favorite gluten-free bread and dry it fully for best texture. To make dairy-free, use olive oil or ghee instead of butter. Make ahead by prepping everything and baking just before serving.
