Recipe Tips and Tricks
Let the stuffing cool and dry out for about 3 minutes before adding the egg and seasonings. The egg will cling better to drier stuffing and help the muffins expand, making them fluffier.
How to Store Leftovers
Refrigerate leftover stuffing muffins in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Freeze muffins by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and then placing them in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in a 300˚F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
