Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups day-old bread (cubed)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion (diced)
- 3 stalks celery stalks (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden and dry. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Transfer the toasted bread cubes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sautéed vegetable mixture over the top, ensuring all the butter is included.
Add the chopped parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread mixture, stirring gently to ensure the bread is evenly moistened but not soggy.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and transfer the bread mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Delicious Bread Stuffing!
