Sage and Herb Thanksgiving Dressing
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf crusty Italian or French bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes or, if drying and toasting bread is too much trouble, buy unflavored croutons or bread cubes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage, rubbed between fingers
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs
Instructions
1
Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on two large baking trays and allow them to air dry for several hours or overnight.
2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Position the oven racks in the lower- and upper-middle positions. Grease a 3-quart baking container.
3
Bake bread cubes in the preheated oven until they have a golden appearance, taking 12 to 15 minutes.
4
Decrease the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
5
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and chopped celery; cook until they are soft, taking 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
6
Combine bread, chopped parsley, dried sage, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper, chicken broth, and beaten eggs with the onion mixture; mix thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking container; cover it with aluminum foil.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until steam is released, approximately 30 minutes. Remove the foil; continue baking until the top becomes crispy, taking about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
