Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cubed bread onto a large baking sheet and toast in the oven for 15 minutes, or until dried and lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and celery and sauté for 8–10 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until aromatic.
Transfer the toasted bread cubes to a large mixing bowl. Add the sautéed onion-celery mixture, chopped parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Toss gently to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread mixture.
Gently toss the bread mixture until the liquid is absorbed and evenly distributed. Be careful not to break the bread cubes apart too much.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray. Transfer the dressing mixture to the dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the dressing rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
