Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 cups Country-style bread (day-old or slightly stale)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1.5 cups Celery, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (optional, for crusty finish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden and dry. Remove and allow to cool.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the chopped parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the herbs are fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, cooked vegetable and herb mixture, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable stock and beaten eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread and toss gently until the bread is evenly moistened but not soggy.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish. If desired, drizzle olive oil over the top for a crispier finish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the stuffing cool slightly before serving. Enjoy Mama D's Holiday Stuffing with your favorite holiday dishes!
