Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old bread (cubed)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups celery (diced)
- 1 cup yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2.5 cups chicken or turkey broth
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until dry and slightly golden. Set aside to cool.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables and butter mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the toasted bread cubes, chopped parsley, dried sage, and dried thyme. Toss to combine evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or turkey broth, eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture and gently fold until the bread is evenly moistened. Be careful not to overmix to avoid breaking down the bread cubes.
Transfer the dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
