Ingredients

• 16 cups artisan bread (such as sourdough or country loaf)
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 medium yellow onion, diced
• 6 units celery stalks, diced
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Cut the artisan bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly on a large baking sheet.

Step 3

Toast the bread cubes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are golden and dried out. Remove from the oven and let them cool.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 8-10 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the herbs' aroma.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and the beaten eggs. Pour the mixture over the bread and vegetables, stirring gently to evenly moisten the bread without breaking it apart.

Step 8

Transfer the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes to allow the top to become golden and slightly crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the stuffing rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this rich and flavorful dish with family and friends!
