Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 2-lb. loaf country-style bread, torn into 1"-1 1/2" pieces
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 fennel bulb, finely chopped
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup chopped parsley
2 Tbsp. chopped sage
1 Tbsp. chopped rosemary
1 Tbsp. chopped thyme
3 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 250°F. Arrange bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl. Increase oven temperature to 350°F.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook onions, fennel, and celery, stirring often, until softened but not yet browned, 8-10 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, until almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Add butter and cook, stirring, until melted, about 3 minutes. Scrape vegetable mixture over bread in bowl and mix in parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Whisk eggs and broth in a medium bowl to combine. Pour over bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly coated. Divide between two 8x8" baking dishes (you can also put it all in a 13x9" baking dish if you prefer) and pack stuffing down. Cover with foil and bake until you can see some bubbles around the edges of the dishes, 30-35 minutes.
Increase oven temperature to 425°F. Uncover stuffing and bake until top is golden brown and crisp, 20-25 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
Bread can be baked 2 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature. Stuffing can be assembled 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before baking.

APPLE & HERB STUFFING

Apple & Herb Stuffing image

Why anyone would make Stove Top after making this, I just wouldn't understand. I made this recipe over 6 years ago and couldn't believe the ease or how it tastes! It's a Thanksgiving tradition now. I'm not a fan of apples baked in foods, but the sweetness of them is so good and gives the dish a great color. The recipe is from a cookbook called "Treasury of Christmas."

Tips:

Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
Don't overcook the stuffing: The stuffing should be cooked through, but not dry. It should still be slightly moist in the center.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to the stuffing. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
Don't pack the stuffing too tightly: The stuffing should be loosely packed so that it can cook evenly.
Let the stuffing rest before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the stuffing to firm up.
