Stuffing Balls

Step 3 — Combine Everything

  1. Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Pour the sautéed vegetable mixture over the bread.
  3. Add the beaten eggs.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of broth to start.
  5. Mix gently until the bread is moistened but not soggy.
    • Add more broth if needed—every batch of bread absorbs differently.

You want a texture that holds together when squeezed, like a soft dough.


Step 4 — Shape the Stuffing Balls

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  3. Scoop a handful of stuffing mixture and roll into balls (about golf-ball size).
  4. Place them evenly spaced on the baking sheet.

Tip: Damp hands help prevent sticking!


Step 5 — Bake to Golden Perfection

  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are crispy, browned, and firm.
  2. For extra crispiness, brush the tops lightly with melted butter before baking.

The outside becomes beautifully golden while the inside stays soft and savory.
