Stuffing Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread stale bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until they are dry and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, sautéing until the onion is translucent and the celery is tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Egg

    Gradually add the broth to the bread mixture, stirring gently to combine. Then, fold in the beaten egg until well incorporated.

  5. 5

    Bake the Stuffing

    Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
