Units
Scale
- 10 cups cubed day-old bread (preferably sourdough or French bread)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups chopped yellow onions
- 1.5 cups chopped celery
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2–3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10–15 minutes until golden and dry. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 more minute.
- Transfer the toasted bread cubes to a large mixing bowl. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture and parsley. Toss to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 2 cups of broth. Pour over the bread mixture and stir until evenly moistened. Add more broth as needed until the stuffing is moist but not soggy.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes covered. Remove foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use day-old bread for best texture; fresh bread can become too mushy.
- Feel free to add cooked sausage, nuts, or dried cranberries for variation.
- Vegetable broth can be used to keep this recipe vegetarian.
