– 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs, beaten


Instructions

Creating Classic Make Ahead Stuffing with Fresh Herbs is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cube the Bread: Cut the loaf of bread into 1-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes until dry and lightly golden.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and sage. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
5. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes and the sautéed mixture. Toss gently to combine.
6. Add Broth: Gradually stir in the chicken or vegetable broth until the bread is saturated. Ensure even distribution for optimal flavor.
7. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the beaten eggs to bind the stuffing together.
8. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
9. Cover and Chill: If preparing ahead, cover the dish with foil and refrigerate until ready to bake.
10. Bake: When ready to serve, remove the foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy on top.

Following these carefully outlined steps ensures that your stuffing comes out perfectly delicious!
