Ingredients
- 12 cups bread cubes (475g)
- ¾ cup butter 170g, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon sage chopped, fresh
- 1 sweet onion chopped
- 3 celery chopped, stalks
- 6 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon thyme chopped fresh
- 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped, fresh
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 4 cups chicken broth 960ml, low-sodium
- 2 large egg
Instructions
- Dry out the bread cubes by spreading them out onto a large baking dish or sheet. You can let them sit for 12-24 hours and air dry or toast them in the oven. To oven dry, place them in a 350F oven, stirring every 5 minutes until dry and crouton-like, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 350F when you’re ready to assemble the stuffing. Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sage and cook until dark green, about 30 seconds. Add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently, about starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the celery and garlic. Continue cooking until the celery starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, thyme, rosemary, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Remove from the heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, eggs, and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add the bread cubes and onion mixture. Stir until well combined. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes allowing the bread to absorb liquid. Stir again, then pour the bread mixture into the greased casserole dish.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Baked stuffing can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours before reheating.
Notes
- If the top of the stuffing is not as golden as you prefer, you can turn on the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top.
- The amount of liquid you need varies with what type of bread you use. If the bread seems dry, drizzle a little extra broth over the top before baking.
- If you need to keep your stuffing warm before serving, loosely cover it with aluminum foil and keep it in the oven set at 200F.
- If you are feeding a crowd, you can double the recipe. Simply bake it in two casserole dishes.
- The stuffing should be moist but not wet. Add more bread to soak up the excess moisture if your mixture is too wet.
- For crispier stuffing, use a larger casserole dish so there is more surface area for the bread to crisp up.
- Don’t stir the bread too vigorously with the onion mixture. You do not want the bread to turn into mush before you start baking it.
