Bread stuffing is a traditional holiday season recipe, usually used to fill poultry like turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Typical ingredients include bread/croutons, onions, celery, sage, butter, salt, and pepper, though a quick google search demonstrates the vast range of possibilities. One problem with preparing for bountiful holiday feasts is, of course, leftovers! What do you do with tupperware stuffed with stuffing when you've run out of stuff to stuff it into? Here is one easy appetizer answer, made in 5 minutes with a microwave. (A baking pan in an oven would work too.)
Bread Stuffing Meteors (Serves 1):
- Bread stuffing (~1/2 cup)
- Parmesan cheese flakes (or your favorite cheese)
- Warm marinara sauce (or your favorite sauce)
- Olive oil
- Roll bread stuffing with hands or spoons into three bite-size to meatball-size balls.
- Spread olive oil very lightly over a plate, roll around the bread stuffing until lightly coated, and microwave for four 25sec intervals. Flip or roll each ball to a new side between each interval, since the top will dry faster than the bottom. In the end, the balls should be slightly chewier and should not break apart under light pressure.
- Place three dollops of sauce around one half of a small plate, and spread to make 'meteor tails'. Place one ball at the center of each meteor shape, and top each with a flake of cheese.
- Microwave until the cheese has melted, and enjoy! :)
