Preheat oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
Prepare the veggies: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Mix the stuffing: In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, sautéed veggies, herbs, salt, and pepper. Pour in broth gradually, tossing to moisten evenly. Add beaten eggs and mix until the mixture holds together but is not too wet. Fold in parsley or Parmesan if using.
Form the balls: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with melted butter or oil to enhance crispiness.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve: Serve warm as a side dish with roasted meats, turkey, or gravy.
🌿 Tips:
Use slightly stale bread for the best texture — it absorbs flavors without becoming mushy.
For extra flavor, add crispy bacon bits, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts.
Make ahead: Prepare the balls and refrigerate or freeze before baking; bake straight from cold when needed.
🍽️ Perfect For:
Thanksgiving, Christmas, or cozy family dinners — these stuffing balls are bite-sized magic that disappear fast! 😋
