Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bread
- 1 and 1/2 sticks butter
- 1 and 1/2 cups diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced shallot
- 1 and 1/2 cups celery, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sage
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon (Roasted Garlic Base) optional
- 1 and 1/2 cups chicken or turkey broth
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250° F. Cut the bread into cubes and place on a rimmed baking dish. Place in the oven to dry the bread out and make it stale. Stir occasionally until bread is dry. Depending on how fresh the bread is this can take up to 40 minutes. When the bread has toasted remove from oven and raise the temperature to 350℉ to bake the casserole.
- While bread is in oven prepare the vegetables. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the diced onion, celery and shallot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.
- Add the dry bread cubes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sautéed vegetables along with all of the butter over the bread. Stir and coat the bread in the butter.
- Once well combined, add the bread cubes to a buttered casserole dish. It will be very full but should fit into a 13×9 dish.
- In a separate bowl beat the eggs. Add the chicken broth, Better Than Bouillon and water. Stir well and pour the mixture over the bread cubes. Use a spoon to carefully stir the bread and coat with the broth mixture.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350℉. Remove the foil and bake an additional 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
