Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (1½ sticks), plus more for baking dish
- 1 lb sourdough bread* day-old, torn into 1-inch pieces (about 10 cups)
- 2½ cups onions* chopped
- 1½ cups celery* 1/4 inch slices
- ½ cup parsley* fresh, chopped
- 2 tbsp sage* fresh, chopped
- 1 tsp rosemary dried
- 1 tbsp thyme* fresh
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2½ cups chicken* stock divided
- 2 eggs*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°. Butter a 13x9 baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
- Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions carrots, and celery. Stir until beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1¼ cups the broth and toss gently. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk 1¼ cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°, about 40 minutes.
- Continue to bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40–45 minutes longer.
