Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium yellow onion
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups day-old bread
- 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the onions and celery. Mince the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent browning.
Stir in the parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to release the aroma of the herbs.
Cut or tear the day-old bread into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the onion and herb mixture over the bread cubes and toss to combine evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and the egg until fully incorporated. Pour this liquid mixture over the bread and onion mixture.
Gently toss everything together until the bread is evenly moistened but not soggy. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Cover with foil.
Bake the stuffing in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Old Fashioned Savoury Onion Stuffing as a delicious side dish!
