Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 10 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, sage, parsley, and thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. Pour the sautéed vegetable and herb mixture over the bread and toss to combine.
Gradually ladle the broth over the bread mixture, tossing gently to moisten evenly. Add the salt and black pepper, then mix well.
Whisk the beaten eggs in a small bowl, then pour them over the bread mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Transfer the dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to brown and crisp slightly.
Remove the dressing from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
