Main Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) loaf gluten-free sandwich bread, cut into medium-sized cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1/2 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
- Gluten-free cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2.5-quart casserole dish with gluten-free cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cube Bread: Cut the gluten-free sandwich bread into medium-sized cubes, setting them aside in a large bowl.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced celery and minced garlic, sautéing until soft, about 6-8 minutes.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine salt, onion powder, thyme, sage, and rosemary; stir well to blend the herbs with the salt and onion powder.
- Add Seasonings and Eggs: Pour the seasoning blend and whisked eggs over the bread cubes. Stir gently to coat the bread evenly with the mixture.
- Incorporate Vegetables: Add the sautéed celery and garlic mixture into the bread mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Moisten Stuffing: Pour the gluten-free chicken broth over the bread mixture, gently mixing until the bread is thoroughly moistened but not soggy.
- Transfer to Bakeware: Pour the stuffing mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and lightly crisp. Monitor closely as oven temperatures vary.
- Store and Reheat: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
