Ingredients
Scale
1 pound day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 large)
1 cup chopped celery (about 2 ribs)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups chicken broth
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, and thyme and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, the cooked onion and celery mixture, salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and beaten eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread mixture and toss gently to combine.
Transfer the stuffing to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and the top is golden brown.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use turkey broth instead of chicken broth.
If you prefer a moister stuffing, add an extra 1/2 cup of broth.
This stuffing can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
