Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 2.5 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 nonstick cooking spray or butter, for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter and set it aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped onion and celery, cooking for about 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, cooked onion mixture, and chopped fresh parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Toss everything together until evenly mixed.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the bread mixture, a little at a time, stirring gently as you go. Ensure the bread is evenly moistened but not overly soggy.
Add the lightly beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
