Ingredients

  • 2 Loaves of French or Italian Loaf Bread cut in 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 stalks of celery diced
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ½ stick of butter
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 3 tsp rubbed sage
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 cups of chicken or turkey broth

Instructions

  • Prepare Bread Cubes: Dry the bread cubes by leaving them covered in a bowl for two days or baking them in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for about 20 minutes.
  • Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced celery and sauté for a few minutes. Add diced onions and minced garlic, and continue to sauté until all vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Season Bread Cubes: While vegetables are cooking, add your preferred spices to the dried bread cubes.
  • Combine Ingredients: Mix the sautéed vegetables with the bread cubes. Add broth gradually until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Add Eggs: Mix in the beaten eggs thoroughly.
  • Bake: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, cover, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to brown.

Notes

Add Meat (Optional): If using meat, cook it separately and add it to the sautéed vegetables.
Add Extra Richness (Optional): For an extra rich taste, melt unsalted garlic butter (made with minced garlic and butter) and pour over the finished dish.
