Ingredients

• 10 cups day-old bread (such as sourdough or French bread)
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and spread the cubes evenly onto a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, fresh parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Add the salt and black pepper, tossing until evenly coated.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and the eggs until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the broth and egg mixture over the bread mixture, tossing gently to coat. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp.

Step 10

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