Time 1h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cooking spray
6 cups cubed sourdough bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 ounces Hillshire Farm® Rope Smoked Sausage, cut in 1/4" cubes
1 ½ cups chopped Honeycrisp apple
1 cup chopped yellow onion
4 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 ¼ cups unsalted chicken stock
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • Arrange bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until toasted and dry, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place in a large bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add sausage; cook about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add apple, onion, garlic, and sage; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apple and onion are slightly softened. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with bread.
  • Add chicken stock, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and eggs to bowl with bread mixture; toss gently until moistened. Divide mixture among muffin cups. Bake until set, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Use a small offset spatula to carefully remove from pans; serve warm.

These stuffing bites were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more broth next time.
