Make this classic, savory bread stuffing from scratch. It features fresh herbs and a buttery texture, perfect for your holiday table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 to 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly toasted. Set aside.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery. Cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. In a very large bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes and the cooked vegetable mixture.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs over the bread mixture and toss gently to coat.
  7. Gradually add the broth, starting with 3 cups, tossing lightly until the bread is just moistened. Do not over-saturate.
  8. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is heated through.

Notes

  • For a crispier top, bake uncovered.
  • If you want a moister stuffing, add the fourth cup of broth or more, as needed.
  • To make this a sausage stuffing, brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage separately and add it with the cooked vegetables.
