Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 cups dry bread cubes (about 3 large loaves)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups onion (diced)
  • 2 cups celery (diced)
  • 3 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sage (fresh or dried)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your bread cubes by cutting them into pieces and letting them dry overnight or lightly toasting them in the oven.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then sauté the diced onions and celery until soft and fragrant, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the poultry seasoning, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes and sautéed vegetables. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while mixing gently. Whisk the eggs separately before adding them to bind the mixture.
  5. Transfer everything into a greased baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes covered, then uncover for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.
