Equipment

  • 9x13 Baking Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. crusty bread cut into 1-inch cubes, store bought or homemade
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 ribs celery diced
  • 1 apple chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth turkey or vegetable also work
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or melted butter. Set aside.
  • Spread the bread out on an ungreased sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
    1 lb. crusty bread
  • While the bread cooks, melt the butter in a large sauté pan set over medium heat.
    ½ cup unsalted butter
  • Add in the onion, celery, and apple. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes.
    1 onion, 4 ribs celery, 1 apple
  • Add in the garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
    2 cloves garlic, ¾ tsp kosher salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • Once the bread is toasted, take it out and increase the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Add the bread, parsley, sage, thyme, chicken broth, and eggs to the large bowl. Toss well until the bread is coated and has absorbed some of the liquid.
    2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth, 2 large eggs
  • Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the middle does not jiggle when you gently shake the baking pan.
  • Garnish with more herbs, if desired, and serve warm.
