Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 stalks Celery
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried sage
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 cups Bread cubes
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely chopped celery and onion, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in minced garlic, thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes with the cooked celery and onion mixture. Toss to evenly coat.

Step 5

Pour the chicken broth over the bread mixture and gently stir to moisten the bread. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving about 1/4 cup for topping, and mix well.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, then pour them into the bread mixture. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 7

Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top and pressing it down gently. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top of each cup.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the stuffing cups cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove each one using a spoon or butter knife.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
