Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried sage, thyme, and parsley. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to release the aroma of the herbs.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and gently stir. Add the salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Place the cubed bread into a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm chicken broth and vegetable mixture over the bread and toss until the bread is evenly coated and slightly softened.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and pour it over the bread mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the egg without mashing the bread.
Transfer the mixture into the greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly and press it down gently with the back of a spoon.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 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 cool slightly before serving.
