Ingredients

• 8 cups French or Italian bread
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 stalks Celery
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons Fresh sage
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes and spread them out on a baking sheet for a few hours or overnight to dry out. Alternatively, toast the cubes in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp and dry.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the fresh parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the flavors of the herbs.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and then pour it into the skillet, stirring quickly to incorporate it into the mixture. This will help bind the stuffing.

Step 7

Add the bread cubes to the skillet a handful at a time, tossing to coat them evenly in the broth and vegetable mixture. Continue until all the bread is incorporated.

Step 8

Season the stuffing with salt and black pepper, then stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the bread cubes have absorbed the liquid and the stuffing is moist but not soggy.

Step 10

Transfer the stuffing to a serving dish or serve directly from the skillet. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
