Easy Sage and Onion Stuffing Balls: A Family Tradition for Generations

Ingredients

  • 4 cups dried bread cubes (or fresh breadcrumbs)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage (or 1 tablespoon fresh sage)
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking tray.

2. Cook the Onion

In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent.

3. Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, cooked onion, sage, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the broth and mix well. Add the beaten egg and stir until everything is evenly combined.

4. Shape the Balls

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls (about golf-ball size) and place them on the prepared baking tray.

5. Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.

6. Serve

Serve warm alongside your favorite roast or holiday meal.

Pro Tips for Perfect Stuffing Balls

  • Use slightly stale bread for better texture
  • Don’t overmix—keep the texture light
  • Add more broth if the mixture feels too dry
  • For extra crispiness, turn the balls halfway through baking
