Take cubed gluten-free bread that’s been left out to dry overnight, and add fresh herbs.

Gluten-Free Stuffing
8 cups cubed gluten free bread (1-inch cubes)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 stalks celery, diced
1 large onion, diced
½ head fennel, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 green apples, peeled and cut into cubes
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
1 egg
3 cups chicken stock
Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and leave out overnight to dry out.
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400° F. Butter two 12-count muffin tins and set aside. Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl.
In a large saute pan, set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the celery, onions, and fennel, sprinkle with the salt and cook until the vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mixture to the bowl of bread and mix.
In the same saute pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and let brown for 30 seconds. Add the nutmeg and apples and saute until the apples are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add this to the bread bowl and mix. Add the parsley, sage, egg, and mix well. Drizzle chicken stock over mixture. Mix well.
Fill muffin tins with bread mixture. Pack stuffing down into tin. This will allow the stuffing to bind together. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Stuffing bread should be golden brown and edges should be crispy.
