Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups stale bread cubes (sourdough or French baguette)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the stale bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sauté the chopped onions and diced celery until soft, approximately 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed vegetables. Gradually stir in the chicken broth, herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl until frothy; then mix them into the stuffing mixture.
- Transfer to a greased baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to achieve a crispy top.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
