Description
This Thanksgiving stuffing blends nostalgic tradition with rich, herby flavor and just the right textures—crispy edges and tender inside. A soulful side dish that always steals the spotlight.
Ingredients
10 cups cubed, day-old bread (white or sourdough)
1 ½ cups chopped onion
1 ½ cups chopped celery
½ cup unsalted butter
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 tsp dried sage
1 tsp dried thyme
2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a large baking dish or casserole pan.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter and add chopped onions and celery. Sauté over medium heat until soft, about 10 minutes.
3. In a giant mixing bowl, toss your cubed bread with sautéed veggies, herbs, and beaten eggs.
4. Slowly pour in the broth as you stir to evenly moisten the bread without making it soggy.
5. Spoon the mixture into your baking dish and gently press it down.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp.
7. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
To prep ahead, mix all ingredients except broth and eggs. Refrigerate up to 2 days.
For crispy edges, use a wide shallow dish.
Toast your bread cubes in a 275°F oven for 25 minutes for best texture.
