Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups day-old bread (such as sourdough or French bread)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 4 stalks celery, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and spread the cubes evenly onto a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, fresh parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Add the salt and black pepper, tossing until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and the eggs until well combined.
Pour the broth and egg mixture over the bread mixture, tossing gently to coat. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.
Transfer the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp.
Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
