Stuffing balls are such a fun, tasty twist on classic stuffing—easy to serve as appetizers or a side! Here’s a simple recipe for crispy, flavorful stuffing balls:
Stuffing Balls
Ingredients:
-
6 cups prepared stuffing (homemade or store-bought)
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Parmesan work well, optional)
-
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or sage (optional)
-
½ cup cooked sausage or bacon bits (optional for extra flavor)
-
¼ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth (if stuffing seems dry)
-
Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing or drizzling)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. -
Mix ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the prepared stuffing, beaten eggs, cheese, herbs, and sausage or bacon if using.
Add broth little by little if the mixture feels too dry to hold together. -
Form balls:
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into golf-ball-sized balls and place them on the baking sheet. -
Bake:
Brush or drizzle the balls lightly with olive oil or melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. -
Serve:
Let cool slightly, then serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Great with a dipping sauce like cranberry sauce or gravy!
