Ingredients
Scale
Gluten-Free Bread
- 1 (1 pound) loaf gluten-free bread (such as Udi’s® Millet-Chia bread)
Vegetables & Herbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- ground black pepper to taste
Liquid & Eggs
- 2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Prep the Bread: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 3-quart baking dish. Cut the gluten-free bread into 3/4-inch cubes and spread evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Toast the Bread Cubes: Bake the bread cubes in the preheated oven until they become crisp, about 12 to 17 minutes. This helps create the perfect texture for the stuffing.
- Sauté Vegetables: While the bread is toasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and celery, cooking and stirring until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in fresh sage, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to incorporate the flavors.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the toasted bread cubes to the skillet along with the gluten-free chicken broth and beaten eggs. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring the bread absorbs the broth and flavors.
- Bake the Stuffing: Transfer the mixture to the greased 3-quart baking dish. Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the stuffing set.
- Finish Baking: Remove the cover and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, until the top is crisp and lightly browned, adding a delightful texture contrast.
