Ingredients

– 1 loaf of crusty bread (about 1 pound), cut into cubes
– 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
– 1 cup chopped onion
– 1 cup chopped celery
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
– 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage)
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 to 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low sodium)
– 2 large eggs, beaten


Instructions

Creating Classic Butter Herb Stuffing is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Bread: Place the bread cubes in a large bowl. You can let them sit out overnight to dry out, or toast them slightly in the oven for about 10 minutes.
3. Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
4. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and celery to the pan. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
5. Add Herbs: Stir in the fresh thyme, sage, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Combine Mixtures: Pour the sautéed mixture over the bread cubes. Toss well to combine all ingredients.
7. Add Broth: Gradually add 2 cups of the broth, mixing until the bread is just moistened. If it seems dry, add more broth as needed.
8. Incorporate Eggs: Finally, add the beaten eggs to the mixture, and combine thoroughly.
9. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish.
10. Bake the Stuffing: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

These steps will provide you with a delicious and perfectly baked stuffing that you and your loved ones will enjoy.
