HERBY BREAD-AND-BUTTER STUFFING FOR TWO



Herby Bread-and-Butter Stuffing for Two image

This fairly classic stuffing recipe has been scaled down to feed two (generously). Filled with buttery sautéed shallots and plenty of herbs, it's rich and soft in the center, and golden and crunchy on top. A small shallow gratin dish, about 6 inches in diameter, is your best option for baking, but any dish, loaf pan, or skillet with a 3- to 4-cup capacity will work.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
1 large or 2 small shallots, diced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a large pinch
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram or thyme leaves (or use a large pinch of dried)
1/2 to 3/4 cup turkey, chicken or vegetable broth
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh soft herbs (use 2 or 3 of the following: parsley, tarragon, chives, mint, basil, cilantro, dill or celery leaves)
About 2 1/2 cups torn-up stale white or whole-wheat bread, not too crusty (3 ounces)
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a small, shallow gratin dish, casserole dish or loaf pan with a 3- to 4-cup capacity.
  • In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in shallots and a large pinch of salt. Cook until soft and just starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in marjoram and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup broth, egg, chopped herbs and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fold in bread and shallots, letting the bread absorb the liquid. It should be very moist. (If the mixture seems dry, add more stock a little at a time, using up to another 1/4 cup.)
  • Spoon stuffing into the prepared baking dish and grind some black pepper onto the top. Cut the remaining tablespoon butter into small pieces and scatter over the top. Bake until golden brown and firm, about 30 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of breads: This will give your dressing a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of white, wheat, and rye bread.
  • Toast the bread before using it: This will help to dry it out and make it less likely to become soggy in the dressing.
  • Add plenty of herbs and spices: This will help to flavor the dressing and make it more interesting. Some good options include sage, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real ingredients and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the dressing: The dressing should be cooked until it is just heated through. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Bread dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a side dish, give bread dressing a try. You won't be disappointed.
