Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Roughly chop the macadamia nuts.
- Zest the orange.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl.
2. Toast the Bread Crumbs:
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bread crumbs to the skillet and toast them, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove the bread crumbs from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Cook the Onions:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the onions are cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the toasted bread crumbs.
- Add the orange zest, spice mix, chopped macadamia nuts, and dried cranberries to the skillet.
- Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly combined.
5. Bind the Stuffing:
- Pour the beaten egg over the mixture and stir quickly to combine. The egg will help bind the ingredients together.
6. Cook Until Heated Through:
- Continue cooking over low heat for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stuffing is heated through and the egg is fully cooked.
7. Serve:
- Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Transfer the stuffing to a serving bowl or use it to stuff your favorite poultry dish.
8. Optional:
- For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs like parsley or sage before serving.

Tips:

- Make sure the bread is slightly stale or toasted to avoid a soggy texture in the stuffing.

- Chop the onion finely to ensure even cooking and distribution throughout the stuffing.

- Toast the macadamia nuts lightly to bring out their natural flavor and add extra crunch.

- Whisk the egg before adding it to the mixture to ensure it is well incorporated.

- Adjust the spice mix according to your taste preferences; you can make it more savory or mild depending on your preference.

- If you prefer a vegetarian version, consider using a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) as a substitute for the egg.
