This everything bagel stuffing recipe puts a fun, hearty twist on traditional stuffing. It features chewy cubed bagels, plenty of minced garlic and a crunchy sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
Instructions
1
Saute the aromatics
2
Preheat your oven to 350°. Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped celery, onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown.
3
Deglaze the pan
4
Pour 1-1/2 cups of chicken broth into the veggies, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan—those little morsels, called fond, are packed with flavor and bring savory depth to your stuffing. Then, remove the pan from the heat.
5
Combine the veggies and bagels
6
Add the bagel cubes and green onions to the veggie and broth mixture, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the remaining chicken broth, a little at a time, until the stuffing reaches your desired level of moistness. Editor's Tip: Start by adding 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the remaining broth, then stir gently and check the texture. You want the bagel pieces just moist, not soggy, without any liquid pooling at the bottom of the pan.
7
Finish and bake the stuffing
8
Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the dish. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning on top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
