Instructions
- Prepare the bread cubes by toasting them in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes until like croutons, or use stale bread. Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9x13 baking dish, then place the prepared bread in a large mixing bowl or the baking dish.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and minced garlic with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, cooking for 8-10 minutes until softened. Stir in the chopped sage, parsley, and rosemary and cook for one more minute, then add 1 cup of stock.
- Pour the cooked onion and celery mixture over the bread cubes and toss well to coat them evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 ½ cups of stock with 2 large eggs.
- Add the stock and egg mixture to the bread cubes, stirring and folding until everything is thoroughly combined. Bake the stuffing for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, tenting with foil if it browns too quickly.
Notes
For best results, use stale or toasted bread cubes, which can be prepared the day before. This stuffing can also be made a day ahead and reheated; remember to remove it from the fridge 60 minutes before reheating. Feel free to use this mixture to stuff a whole bird if desired.
