Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (1 pound) loaf crusty Italian or French bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes or, if drying and toasting bread is too much trouble, buy unflavored croutons or bread cubes
4 tablespoons butter
2 onions, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
¼ cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon dried sage, rubbed between fingers
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Spread bread cubes in a single layer on two large sheet pans and let dry for a few hours or overnight. Adjust oven racks to lower- and upper-middle positions. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake bread until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery; saute until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix bread, vegetables and remaining ingredients. Turn into a greased 3-quart baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until steamy, 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake until crusty, 10 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

This dressing is a must-have for our Thanksgiving feast. We've been making it for years, and it never disappoints. The fresh herbs really make a difference.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dressing turned out dry and bland. I doubled the amount of herbs, but it still wasn't flavorful. I won't be making this recipe again.

This dressing was a success! The herbs gave it a wonderful flavor, and the texture was perfect. I added some extra salt and pepper to taste, and it was even better.

This dressing was amazing! It perfectly complemented our Thanksgiving meal. The flavors of the parsley, sage, and thyme were perfectly balanced, and the texture of the dressing was moist and fluffy. We will definitely be using this recipe again!
