Ingredients
For the stuffing
- 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 red onions, thinly sliced
- 4 celery stalks, finely chopped
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 10 cups cubed everything bagels (about 6 large bagels), dried overnight
- 1/4 cup chopped chives, plus more for serving
- 1 Tbsp. freshly chopped sage
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
- 4 Tbsp. butter, cut into 1/2" pieces
For the everything bagel sprinkle
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp. poppy seeds
- 2 tsp. Toasted sesame seeds
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly oil a 3-quart baking dish and set aside.
- Step 2In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add onions and celery and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add vinegar and cook, scraping up any brown bits, until evaporated, about 1 minute.
- Step 3Transfer vegetables to a large bowl, then add bagel pieces, chives, and sage and toss to combine.
- Step 4In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and 2 cups broth. Pour over bread mixture and toss until evenly moistened, adding more broth ¼ cup at a time until bagel pieces seem hydrated (you might not use it all).
- Step 5Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and dot top with butter. Cover dish with foil and bake until a knife inserted in the center of the stuffing comes out warm, 30 to 35 minutes. Increase heat to 425° and continue baking until top is deeply golden, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
- Step 6Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil. Add garlic and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon. Add shallot to oil and cook until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon. Let garlic and shallot cool slightly, then add to a small bowl with poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
- Step 7Serve stuffing sprinkled with poppy seed mixture and garnish with chives.
