Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 large Yellow onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh sage leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 6 cups Stale bread
• 1.5 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or casserole.

Step 2

Cut the stale bread into small cubes (around 1/2-inch in size) and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onions. Mince the garlic cloves as well.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, fresh sage, fresh parsley, and dried thyme to the skillet. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and well combined with the onions.

Step 6

Pour the cooked onion and herb mixture over the bread cubes. Toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, egg, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until fully blended.

Step 8

Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and onion mixture, gently mixing until the bread is evenly moistened but not overly soggy. Adjust the broth quantity slightly if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the stuffing cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
