Make This Recipe
Ingredients
12 oz. herb-seasoned stuffing mix
1.5 cup salted butter
1 cup diced white onion
1 cup diced celery
24 oz. chicken stock
5 Eggland’s Best Eggs, large
16 oz. tube of uncooked Maple sausage
Kosher salt
freshly cracked pepper
2 tbsp. Poultry seasoning
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 12x8 inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray or butter. Meanwhile, add 3-4 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, add the eggs and cook for 8 minutes.
- Remove and place in ice water for five minutes before peeling.
- To prevent a rubbery texture, add diced eggs into a food processor and pulverize for 30 seconds.
- In a large saute pan, cook sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Use a spatula to break up the sausage into smaller pieces. Drain and place to the side.
- In a separate skillet, melt 4 tbsp. of butter over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and celery. Sauté until fragrant and tender.
- Melt one stick of butter and chicken stock in a saucepan.
- Combine dry stuffing, seasonings, onions, celery, eggs, and sausage in a large mixing bowl.
- Add all liquids into the mixture and fold into ingredients. Transfer stuffing to glass baking dish.
- To achieve a crunchy coating, add a few pats of butter to the top. Bake for 30 minutes.
