Mom'S Delicious Filling
A moist, savory filling ideal for stuffing or baking, featuring eggs, bread, onions, and parsley, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together well to form a very moist, wet mixture.
- Form the mixture into fist-sized balls.
- Bake at 400°F for 1 1/2 hours if stuffed into a chicken, or 30 minutes if laid into a baking dish and covered with foil.
Tips & Substitutions
To ensure a moist filling, adjust the amount of milk based on the bread's dryness. If you're out of fresh parsley, dried herbs like thyme or sage can work well. For a richer flavor, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or garlic. This filling can also be used for Vegetarian recipes by omitting the chicken and baking it in a dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious filling balls alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with Baked Brie Spread for a delightful appetizer. Consider offering a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or a tangy yogurt dressing for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the filling in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. This method helps maintain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of bread for this recipe?
Absolutely! While white bread is traditional, you can experiment with whole grain, sourdough, or even gluten-free bread. Just make sure to adjust the moisture level accordingly, as different breads absorb liquid differently.
Is it possible to freeze the filling?
Yes, you can freeze the filling before baking it. Shape the mixture into balls and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be baked directly from frozen; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I serve with this filling besides chicken?
This filling works wonderfully as a side dish or stuffing for vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. You could also use it to fill pastries or as a topping for baked potatoes. For a more substantial meal, serve it alongside grains like quinoa or rice.
