Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large (diced) yellow onion
- 4 stalks (diced) celery
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 pound (cubed into 1-inch pieces) white or sourdough bread
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 large (beaten) eggs
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) sage
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (for greasing the baking dish) olive oil or butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened but not browned. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed bread. Pour the sautéed vegetable mixture over the bread.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, beaten eggs, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly pour the broth mixture over the bread and toss until the bread is evenly moistened but not soggy.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the top is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
