Servings: 10 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 to 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 large eggs room temperature and lightly beaten
- 1 loaf of day-old French bread or Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 10 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch casserole dish by spraying it lightly with cooking spray.
- Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 6-8 minutes or until vegetables are softened. Season with sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.½ cup unsalted butter, 1 medium onion, 2 celery stalks, 2 to 3 garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons dried sage, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Mix the Eggs and Broth: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of chicken broth and the eggs.2 large eggs
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cubed bread with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the egg and broth mixture over the bread, stirring gently until everything is evenly moistened. If the mixture seems dry, gradually add the reserved ½ cup of broth as needed.1 loaf of day-old French bread
- Bake the Stuffing: Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is crispy and golden.
Notes
- This recipe typically makes about 8-10 servings, with each serving being approximately 1 cup of stuffing. This can vary slightly depending on the size of the bread cubes and how tightly the servings are packed.
- Before baking, ensure the stuffing is moist but not overly wet. The bread should be well-coated with the broth, maintaining some of its structure. When pressed, the mixture should hold together gently without being too damp.
