Classic Bread Stuffing Recipe
Classic Bread Stuffing Recipe uses fresh bread crumbs mixed with sautéed onions, toasted pine nuts, sage, scallions, and parsley for savory flavor. Butter enriches the mixture, which is seasoned with freshly ground salt and black pepper. The stuffing is baked until crisp on top and heated through, offering a moist, herbaceous side dish traditionally served with poultry or holiday meals.

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.)
