Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
4 ounces white country bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
freshly ground black pepper to taste
kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅔ cup minced onion
⅔ cup minced celery
½ pound sweet Italian pork sausage, casings removed
6 cloves garlic, minced
¾ teaspoon dried sage
4 eggs, beaten
1 small Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored, and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
  • Toss bread cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake bread cubes in the preheated oven until toasted, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir sausage, garlic, and sage into onion mixture and cook, breaking up the meat until no trace of pink remains, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix sausage mixture, eggs, apple, and chicken broth into bowl of toasted bread cubes. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand until flavors absorb, about 5 minutes.
  • Scoop stuffing mixture into muffin cups and bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Transfer muffin tins to a rack to cool, about 5 minutes. Loosen the muffins with a sharp paring knife to lift them out.
