Ingredients

• 8 cups day-old bread (cubed)
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups celery (diced)
• 1 cup yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2.5 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until dry and slightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Transfer the sautéed vegetables and butter mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the toasted bread cubes, chopped parsley, dried sage, and dried thyme. Toss to combine evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or turkey broth, eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture and gently fold until the bread is evenly moistened. Be careful not to overmix to avoid breaking down the bread cubes.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
