Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cubing dry, day-old bread into bite-sized pieces. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet. Lightly toast them for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat in a medium-sized skillet. Add finely chopped onion and celery, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Combine toasted bread cubes and sautéed vegetable mixture in a large mixing bowl. Crack in two eggs and mix gently. Slowly pour in broth, stirring until evenly moistened.
  4. Shape portions of the mixture into golf-ball-sized balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Arrange them on a greased baking sheet.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the stuffing balls for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.
  6. Let the stuffing balls cool for a minute before serving. Best enjoyed warm, they can be paired with gravy.
