Main Ingredients
- Gluten-free cooking spray
- 1 (14-ounce) loaf gluten-free sandwich bread, cut into medium-sized cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup diced celery
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1 tablespoon sage
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2.5-quart casserole dish with gluten-free cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cube the Bread: Cut the gluten-free sandwich bread into medium-sized cubes, setting them aside in a large bowl for mixing later.
- Sauté Celery and Garlic: In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced celery and minced garlic, sautéing for about 6-8 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Mix Herbs and Spices: In a small bowl, combine salt, onion powder, thyme, sage, and rosemary. Stir well to blend the seasoning evenly.
- Combine Bread with Seasonings and Eggs: Pour the seasoning mixture and the whisked eggs over the bread cubes. Stir thoroughly to coat the bread with the herbs and egg mixture.
- Add Sautéed Vegetables: Add the sautéed celery and garlic to the bread mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Moisten with Broth: Pour the gluten-free chicken broth over the bread mixture. Gently stir until all bread pieces are uniformly moistened but not soggy.
- Transfer to Baking Dish and Bake: Pour the stuffing mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and lightly crisp. Watch closely as oven temperatures vary.
- Store Leftovers: After baking, let the stuffing cool slightly. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
