Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 (3/4-pound) loaf country bread, cut into 1/2" cubes (about 8 cups)
1 (1/2-pound) loaf whole grain bread, cut into 1/2" cubes (about 4 cups)
6 cups apple cider
3/4 cup golden raisins (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 pound thick-cut smoked bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces
1 large head of celery, stalks chopped (about 3 cups), whole leaves reserved
2 Gala or Honeycrisp apples, cored, coarsely chopped
4 large shallots, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 1/4 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed
2 large eggs

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish.
Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Toast, stirring occasionally, until dry and crisp, 25-30 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a very large bowl.
Meanwhile, bring cider to a boil in a large wide pot and cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Bring raisins, vinegar, and 2 Tbsp. water just to a simmer in a small skillet over medium heat to warm through. Transfer to a small bowl; let cool, then drain.
Cook bacon in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain (do not wipe out skillet).
Heat 1/4 cup butter in same skillet over medium-high until melted. Add chopped celery stalks, apples, shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 minutes.
Add celery mixture, celery leaves, raisins, bacon, and parsley to bread cubes and toss to combine. Mix in reserved cider and 1 1/4 cups broth.
Beat eggs in a small bowl, then stir into stuffing; add more broth if stuffing is dry. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Bake stuffing until cooked through and golden brown on top, about 1 hour.
Do Ahead
Stuffing mixture can be prepared up until step before adding the eggs 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb about 3-4 large day-old everything bagel, cubed
6 slices bacon, thick-cut, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 celery ribs, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese, plus 1 cup for serving
2 cups chicken stock
6 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, divided
1 -2 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two jumbo doughnut pans and set aside.
Place the bagel cubes on a baking sheet in an even layer and bake until golden brown and the bread pieces have dried out a bit, about 20 minutes. Give them a toss halfway for even browning. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring often, until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon from the pan.
Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat and then stir in the onion and celery. Cook until tender about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, eggs, and 1/2 cup cream cheese until well combined. Add in the toasted bagel pieces, the cooked onions and celery, 3 tablespoons scallions and most of the bacon and mix until well combined and bread is well coated.
Divide the mixture evenly between the two pans and sprinkle with bagel seasoning. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream cheese and garnish with remaining scallions and bacon.

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
5 stalks of scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives, plus 2 teaspoons for garnish
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth (depending on how big and dry the bagels are)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons capers, optional
5 large day-old everything bagels, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 8 cups)

Steps:

Place an oven rack in the middle position.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a 3.5 quart braiser over medium heat, melt butter. Add the onions and scallion whites. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chives, garlic and scallion greens and cook for 2 more minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the chives and scallions are slightly wilted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together chicken broth and eggs. Add the capers if using, bagels and onion/butter mixture and fold to combine. Add additional chicken broth as needed (the bread should be well-hydrated but not mushy). Pour into the pan and bake for 30 minutes, or longer if you'd like it to be browned more on top. Remove from the oven. Garnish with remaining chives. Serve hot.
