1
In a medium bowl, mix together bread stuffing and 2 eggs until well combined. Using your hands gently press into 8 cakes about 3 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick. Place breadcrumbs in a medium bowl. Dredge each cake and transfer to a plate. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place 4 stuffing cakes in oil and cook until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook second side until golden brown, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining 4 cakes.
