Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of crusty, day-old bread (such as sourdough or French bread)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Chop and Toast the Bread: Cut bread into cubes and either let them sit out overnight or toast them in the oven until golden and dry.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: Melt butter in a skillet and sauté onions and celery until soft. Add garlic and fresh herbs, and cook until fragrant.
  3. Mix It All Together: In a bowl, combine toasted bread cubes with sautéed veggies. Add broth and beaten eggs. Toss until evenly mixed.
  4. Bake: Transfer the stuffing to a buttered baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until warmed through. Remove the foil to allow the top to crisp.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for better texture.
  • Fresh herbs are key for flavor.
  • You can prepare this a day ahead and bake it when ready to serve.
