Ingredients
- 12 cups day-old bread
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 medium, diced yellow onion
- 4 diced celery stalks
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and celery, cooking for 8-10 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 4
Add parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute to release the flavors of the herbs.
Step 5
Pour the vegetable mixture over the bread cubes, then slowly add the chicken or vegetable broth, tossing gently to coat the bread evenly. The bread should be moist but not soggy.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them over the stuffing mixture, stirring gently to incorporate.
Step 7
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 8
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Step 9
Allow the stuffing to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this hearty, flavorful side dish with your favorite main course!
