How to Make Apple And Onion Stuffing Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

  4. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the cooked apple and onion mixture to the bread, along with the beaten eggs and Parmesan cheese (if using).
  6. Gradually pour in the broth, stirring until the bread is moistened but not soggy.

  9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
