\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I. Prepare the Bread<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Toast the Bread:<\/strong> If your bread is not stale, cut it into $1 \\text{ inch}$ cubes and spread them on a baking sheet. Bake at $300^\\circ\\text{F}$ ($150^\\circ\\text{C}$) for $10 \\text{ to } 15 \\text{ minutes}$ until they are dry and slightly toasted. Let cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    II. Saut\u00e9 Aromatics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Saut\u00e9:<\/strong> Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Cook Vegetables:<\/strong> Add the chopped celery and onion. Saut\u00e9 for $8 \\text{ to } 10 \\text{ minutes}$ until the vegetables are very soft and translucent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Season:<\/strong> Stir in the dried sage and thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for $1 \\text{ minute}$ until fragrant. Remove from heat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      III. Assemble the Dressing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Combine:<\/strong> In a large bowl, place the dried bread cubes and the saut\u00e9ed vegetable mixture. Toss gently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Add Binder:<\/strong> Pour in the lightly beaten egg and the fresh parsley.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Moisten:<\/strong> Gradually add the chicken or turkey broth, starting with $1.5 \\text{ cups}$. Use a spoon to gently fold and mix. Stop adding broth<\/strong> once the bread is evenly moist but not mushy or dripping wet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Taste:<\/strong> Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        IV. Bake in Muffin Tins<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Preheat & Prep:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to $375^\\circ\\text{F}$ ($190^\\circ\\text{C}$)<\/strong>. Grease a standard $12 \\text{-cup}$ muffin tin very well, or line it with foil baking cups (not paper, as they may stick).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Fill:<\/strong> Scoop the dressing mixture into the prepared muffin cups, pressing down lightly<\/strong> to compact them slightly. Fill them just to the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Bake:<\/strong> Bake for $20 \\text{ to } 25 \\text{ minutes}$<\/strong>, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crispy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Serve:<\/strong> Let them cool in the tin for $5 \\text{ minutes}$ before gently removing them with a knife or small spatula.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          These are wonderful served alongside roasted turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
