Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 4 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Spread the cubed day-old bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until slightly crisp but not browned. Remove and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the fresh parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the herbs' flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring gently. Season with salt and black pepper.
Place the toasted bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Gradually pour the skillet mixture over the bread, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
Once the bread is well-coated, stir in the beaten eggs to bind the stuffing mixture together.
Transfer the stuffing to the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course, and enjoy the rich, herbaceous flavors crafted Simon and Garfunkel style!
