Ingredients
10 cups day-old bread cubes (white or sourdough)
1 cup unsalted butter
1 large onion, diced
3–4 celery stalks, diced
2 teaspoons dried sage (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
2½–3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 large eggs, beaten (for binding, optional)
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion and celery until soft, about 8–10 minutes.
Stir in sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine bread cubes and sautéed mixture.
Pour in broth gradually, stirring until bread is moist but not soggy. Add beaten eggs if using.
Transfer to prepared dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until golden on top.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
