Stuffing Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Line 12 jumbo muffin cups with paper liners and fill with your favorite bread stuffing (we used Mushroom-Leek). Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F until golden, about 45 minutes.
• Mushroom-Leek Stuffing: Make Classic Stuffing with 3 cups chopped leeks instead of onions. Cook 1 pound sliced cremini mushrooms with the leeks and celery.
• Classic Stuffing: Melt 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups each diced onions and celery and 1 tablespoon each minced sage and thyme; add salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add 3 cups turkey or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Beat 2 eggs with 1/4 cup chopped parsley in a large bowl; add 16 cups cubed stale white bread, then pour in the vegetable-broth mixture and toss. Transfer to a buttered baking dish and dot with butter. Cover and bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees F; uncover and bake until golden, 30 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray muffin tin cups with cooking spray.
• Combine stuffing, turkey, and corn kernels in a large bowl, and stir gently. If mixture is particularly dry, add 1 tablespoon chicken broth, a little at a time, until mixture is moist, but not mushy. Loosely and equally portion stuffing mixture amongst the 12 muffin cups. Insert a Cheddar cheese cube into the center of each muffin cup.
• Whisk eggs, 2 tablespoons chicken broth, salt, and pepper together in a cup. Divide egg mixture evenly among the cups. The egg mixture will not completely cover the stuffing, but it puffs up when baked.
• Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are browned and slightly crisp on the top, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before removing the muffins by running a knife around the edge of each cup. Serve warm with a dollop of cranberry sauce spooned on the top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread bread cubes out on baking sheet in an even layer. Bake until toasted (about 10 to 15 minutes). Transfer bread to large bowl.

• Stir together the ground flax seed and 3 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom and then add to the bowl with the bread. Add thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper into bowl with bread. Add the vegetable broth, one cup at a time, and toss together. Allow to absorb for a minute before adding more broth. If the bread is too soggy, do not add the full amount.
• Lightly grease the mini muffin tin. Spoon mixture into each spot, packing it down and filling it slightly above the top. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until edges are browned. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.

To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Place muffins on greased baking sheets, cover with foil and reheat in a preheated 375° oven for 6-10 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• Melt butter for country gravy in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and crumble into very small pieces until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and whisk until it combines with butter and sausage fat to create a roux. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add green onions. Cook and stir for 1 minute; don't overcook.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 12-cup muffin tin with a 1 tablespoon butter.
• Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion, and salt; cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add poultry seasoning and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, combine bread cubes, parsley, sage, and thyme in a large bowl.
• Pour boiling broth mixture over bread-herb mixture and stir until combined. Mix in eggs. Fill the prepared muffin cups to the top with stuffing mixture, then go around and evenly divide remaining stuffing on top of each muffing, piling it up nice and high.
• Wet your finger and make a big hole in the center of each muffin, poking down pretty far but stopping about 1 inch from the bottom of the pan. Place about 2 tablespoons chilled gravy into each hole, centering it in the hole the best you can. Reserve remaining gravy for another use.
• Dampen your hands and mold the stuffing for each muffin over the top to cover the gravy center. Generously brush the tops with melted butter.
• Place in the center of the preheated oven with a baking pan on a lower rack to catch any drippings. Bake until muffins have firmed up and are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
