Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten free bread cubes*
- 3 cups gluten free cornbread cubes*
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/8 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 cup GF vegetable or chicken broth OR 2 large eggs mixed
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley minced
- 1 Tbs. fresh rubbed sage finely chopped OR 1 tsp. ground sage
- 16 ounces 1 pint oysters in liquid (reserved liquid = 3/4 cup)
- 2 Tbs. butter or vegan butter e.g. Earth Balance Buttery Sticks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º F.
- Cut bread and cornbread into small cubes and arrange on two baking sheets lined with foil or parchment and bake for 15 minutes, or until slightly dried and crispy on the edges.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add diced onion and celery, sautéing until tender and onions are translucent. Remove from heat and add salt and peppers.
- In a large bowl, combine toasted bread cubes with sautéed onion mix, broth or mixed eggs and herbs. Drain and reserve oyster juice, measuring out 3/4 cup, then stir slowly into the stuffing adding enough to fully moisten but not make it soggy. If needed, add more broth or an extra egg to add enough moisture to the stuffing. Lastly, gently stir in the oysters.
- Transfer the mixture into a lightly oiled 2-quart casserole dish and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
- Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown and set.
