Miso Stuffing - Bread cubes - Side Dish

To make this Miso Stuffing, simply…

First, you’ll want to make sure your bread cubes are dried out and stale. If your bread is fresh, cut it up into 1″ cubes, put it on a baking sheet and put in a 300°F oven for about 10-15 minutes until dried out.

Next, melt 1/2 cup butter and pour over bread cubes in a very large bowl. Set aside.

Slice onion and shallots and caramelize in a large skillet with the 1 Tbsp butter. The easiest way to caramelize onions is to put a lid on them for 5 minutes to help them release their liquid. Then remove the lid and stir every 2-3 minutes. If onions start sticking, add a bit of the stock and keep stirring.

Once the onions are nice and dark, add to the bowl of bread cubes.

Deglaze the onion pan with 1 cup of the chicken stock. Pour stock into a medium sized bowl and add the rest of the stock and the miso. Once mixture has cooled a bit, add the eggs and mix well.

Pour miso mixture over bread cubes and gently stir a few times (don’t over mix, so the bread cubes stay in their shape). Put entire mixture into a greased 9″x13″ baking dish and bake at 375°F for 45 minutes, until the tops are dark and the bottom is not too soggy.

Recipe Inspiration

My husband, Hans has made this recipe at least 10 times since he discovered it 2 years ago in this Lifehacker article. Now we adjusted it to cut down on the butter, remove the mushrooms, change the type of miso paste and add the shallots. Hans and I have loved trying out this recipe and honing it to perfection. Now we can make it without looking at a recipe and it’s SO delicious!

What goes best with Miso Stuffing

Personally, I love this recipe at Thanksgiving. I’m not a purist, so I love to mix things up even at Thanksgiving. However, we’ve also served this alongside pork loin, grilled chicken and especially over a whole roasted chicken. Here are a few recipes that go well with this side dish:

Pork Loin with Balsamic Fig Sauce
Olive and Artichoke Chicken
Perfect Roasted Turkey
Oven Roasted Chicken
