Ingredients
- 10 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 cup butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sage, dried
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 2
Spread the cubed bread evenly across two baking sheets and toast in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and slightly dry. Remove and let cool.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned.
Step 4
Add parsley, sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute to activate the flavors.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the cooked vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Step 6
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, 1 cup at a time, tossing the mixture gently until the bread is just moistened but not soggy.
Step 7
Stir in the beaten eggs to bind the mixture together.
Step 8
Transfer the dressing mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 9
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade sage dressing!
