Equipment

  • Cupcake pan

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Onions Chopped
  • 1 lb Box Ritz Crackers Crushed
  • 2 Large eggs Beaten
  • 1/2 cup Celery Diced
  • 1 tbsp Parsley Chopped
  • 1 Large carrot Grated or peeled
  • 1/2 lb Pistachio nuts Raw, unsalted and diced
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325° F.
  • Crush the Ritz crackers. Some size variance is ok here. I like to smush them while they're still in their sleeves and then empty them into a bowl so as not to soil extra dishes.
  • Put the olive oil in a pan and cook at medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and sauté until translucent. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Mix the cooked onions into the crushed crackers.
  • Add the beaten eggs to the cracker mixture, followed by the rest of the ingredients. Then transfer to a greased muffin tin. Feel free to overstuff, as these won't really be rising, and the taller these are, the better they'll look. I liked the idea of going without muffin liners. Instead, I placed two strips of parchment paper in each cup in a plus sign formation. That way I could easily pop the stuffins out when they were done. If you want to use regular muffin liners, go for it.
  • Cover the muffin tins with foil and put them in the oven for 15 minutes. At the 15 minute mark, remove the foil and put them back in for another 5 minutes. Your stuffins should be golden and a little bit crisp!
