Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of sourdough bread, cubed (preferably a day or two old)
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 2½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 egg (optional, for binding)
  • fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Tear or cut your sourdough bread into cubes. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and toast them in a 300°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re slightly dry but not too crispy. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted sourdough cubes, sautéed vegetables, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to mix evenly.
  • Gradually pour in the broth while stirring to coat the bread cubes evenly. If you’re using an egg, beat it and stir it into the mixture for a bit more binding. Adjust the liquid amount if necessary, depending on how moist you like your stuffing.
  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve alongside your holiday meal or family dinner.
