Stuffing Skillet

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

Microwavable Bread 

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted 

  • 4 large eggs, room temperature

  • ¾ cup almond flour

  • 2 tbsp baking powder 

Skillet: 

  • ¼ cup chicken broth 

  • ½ lb ground sausage 

  • 2 garlic cloves 

  • ½ medium onion diced 

  • ½ cup spinach

  • 1-2 stalks celery, diced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions: 

  1. In a large bowl, add all of your ingredients for your bread and mix

  2. Pour your bread batter into a microwave safe glass container, and microwave for 90 seconds. Allow your bread to cool. This will harden it slightly. 

  3. In a large skillet, add avocado oil and cook your onions, celery and garlic until translucent. Add your sausage and cook until golden brown. At this time, you can add any veggies you’d like. I’m adding spinach. 

  4. Cut your bread into squares and add into your skillet. Add your chicken broth, stir and serve!
