Stuffing Ingredients
- 10 cups of bread cubes
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1 cup of chopped celery
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon of dried sage
- 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the stuffing evenly.
- Sauté Vegetables: Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the bread cubes along with the sautéed onion and celery. Add the chicken broth, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and beaten eggs. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake Stuffing: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top of the stuffing is golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider toasting the bread cubes before mixing.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt content.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried herbs, using three times the amount.
- You can add cooked sausage or nuts for added texture and taste.
- Let the stuffing rest for 5 minutes after baking to set before serving.
