Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups cubed Texas toast or French bread
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups diced onion
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
  • ½ cup minced fresh parsley
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F. Spread the cubed bread on a large baking sheet and toast until dry and crispy, about 40 to 60 minutes.
  2. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté diced onions, celery, and garlic until softened (about 4 minutes).
  3. Combine the vegetable mixture with toasted bread cubes in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, sage, and parsley; mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and drizzle over the bread mixture along with the chicken broth. Stir gently until combined.
  5. Transfer the stuffing to a greased casserole dish and cover with foil if not baking immediately.
  6. Bake covered for about 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
