Description
Homemade Stuffing has dried bread cubes tossed with celery, onions, fresh herbs and broth, then baked until it’s moist and fluffy, and crispy on the outside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup Diced onion
- 3 Celery stalks (diced (1/2–3/4 cup))
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2/3 cup Butter
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 12 cups Stale bread cubes (1-inch cubes from 1 large loaf french bread)
- 3–4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- ¼ cup Fresh parsley (minced)
- 3 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves (minced)
- 3 teaspoons Fresh sage (minced)
Instructions
- Arrange the bread cubes on a cookie sheet and let them sit out on the counter overnight to dehydrate them.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add bread cubes to a large bowl and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and saute onions and celery until soft and translucent; about 5-6 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add vegetables and fresh herbs to the bowl with the bread and stir.
- Whisk egg together with chicken broth, then pour over bread until it’s moist but not soggy. You may not need all of the broth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour bread mixture into a 13×9-inch buttered baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Watch closely once uncovered so the top doesn’t burn.
