Ingredients

  • 1 medium Onion diced
  • 5 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 4 Stalks Celery chopped
  • 6 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tsp Parsley
  • 2 tsp Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Salt more or less to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp Poultry Seasoning
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 12 cups Day Old Dried Bread Cubes cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prep vegetables by dicing onion, mincing garlic, and chopping celery, set aside.
  • Dice bread into small chunks, and set aside. If bread not dried out, place bread on baking sheets and bake at 200º for 20-30 minutes (be sure not to brown/toast it). Remove and place in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Add onions, garlic, and celery and cook until tender, and fragrant. Do not over cook your vegetables around 8-10 minutes.
  • Add parsley, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt and black pepper.
  • Remove vegetables from heat, and add to the bowl with bread, mix until well combined.
  • Whisk together chicken broth and eggs.
  • Pour broth-egg mixture overtop of bread mixture until cubes are moist (not soggy!) and gently toss ensuring now to mush the bread cubes. See noted section - you may not need all broth-egg mixture)
  • Transfer bread mixture into a casserole serving butter lined dish, and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, uncover, and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until bread is golden.

Notes

Make sure you do not soak your bread cubes! You want to make sure they are all moist, but not mushy. If you add too much liquid mistakenly, add more bread. // You can use any type of broth i.e. vegetable, however I find chicken broth has the most flavour.
