Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Day-old bread, cubed
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 stalks Celery, diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh sage, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 as needed Olive oil or nonstick spray
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray and set it aside.
2. Spread the cubed bread evenly on a large baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until crisp and lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
4. Stir in the parsley, sage, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed vegetable and herb mixture. Toss well to ensure the bread is evenly coated.
6. Slowly pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the bread mixture, folding gently to moisten evenly. The mixture should be moist but not overly soggy.
7. Add the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly to bind the ingredients together.
8. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
9. Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
10. Remove from the oven and let the stuffing cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the unbeatable flavors of this classic dish!
