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

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.

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
Easy Variations
