- 12 oysters oysters with their liquor, chopped

- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped sage leaves and minced garlic, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped oysters and their liquor to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until just heated through. Remove the skillet from heat.
Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the oyster mixture over the bread cubes and toss gently to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and beaten eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread and oyster mixture, stirring until the bread cubes are evenly moistened.
Season the stuffing with kosher salt and black pepper, mixing to incorporate.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Serve hot as a flavorful side dish for your holiday turkey or roast.
