Description
A simple recipe for moist and flavorful bread stuffing using common herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups dried bread cubes
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the dried sage, thyme, salt, and pepper into the skillet mixture. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Place the dried bread cubes in a very large bowl. Pour the butter and vegetable mixture over the bread cubes. Toss gently to coat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and eggs. Pour this liquid mixture over the bread mixture. Toss lightly until the bread is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is heated through.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
- If you prefer a crispier top, bake uncovered.
- You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth for a vegetarian option.
