Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Dry the Bread: Spread gluten-free bread cubes evenly on sheet pans to dry overnight, or place in a preheated oven at 300°F for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Melt unsalted butter and optional olive oil in a skillet. Add diced onion, chopped celery, optional carrot, and cremini mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and herbs.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix dried bread cubes with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Fold in fresh parsley and optional add-ins.
  4. Moisten the Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together eggs (if using) and broth. Pour over the stuffing mixture, tossing gently to avoid sogginess.
  5. Load the Slow Cooker: Coat cooker with nonstick spray and transfer stuffing mixture. Dot top with butter pieces for crispy edges.
  6. Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on Low for 3.5-4.5 hours or on High for 2-3 hours without lifting the lid.
  7. Finish & Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Keep on Warm setting for up to 2 hours and sprinkle fresh parsley before serving.
