Classic Bread Stuffing Recipe
Description
This Classic Bread Stuffing Recipe combines sautéed onions cooked in butter until softened with pine nuts toasted to release their flavor. Fresh bread crumbs absorb these ingredients along with sage, scallions, and fresh parsley, providing an aromatic blend of herbs and texture. The mixture is seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper to balance the flavors.
After mixing, the stuffing can be refrigerated before baking, allowing flavors to meld. Baked in a casserole dish at 375 degrees F, it cooks until the top is crisp and the interior is heated throughout, resulting in a combination of moist, flavorful bread and a golden, satisfying crust.
It is suited as a traditional side dish for roasted poultry or as part of holiday meals. The presence of fresh herbs and nuts adds varied texture and fragrance.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces butter (1 cup )
- 1 cup onion chopped
- ½ cup pine nuts
- 6 to 8 cups fresh bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon sage leaves or 1 teaspoon dried, fresh, minced
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- ½ cup scallion chopped
- ½ cup parsley chopped fresh leaves
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- 2. Place the butter in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. When melted, add the onion and cook,stirring, until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the nuts and cook, stirring almost constantly, until they begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
- 3. Add the bread crumbs and the sage and toss to mix. Turn the heat down to low. Add the salt, pepper, and scallion. Toss again; taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the parsley and stir. Turn off the heat. (At this point, you can refrigerate the stuffing in a covered container, for up to a day before proceeding.)
- 4. Place the stuffing in a casserole dish (3 quart or 9x13-inch) and bake for about 45 minutes, or until crisp and heated through.
