Ingredients

Scale

6 cups stale bread cubes (sourdough or French)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup yellow onion (finely chopped)
1/2 cup celery (finely diced)
1/4 cup fresh sage (chopped)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 large eggs (beaten)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onions and celery until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add sage and cook for an additional minute.
In a large bowl, combine stale bread cubes with the sautéed mixture. Gradually pour in the broth while gently stirring until the bread absorbs enough liquid but remains slightly dry.
Mix in the beaten eggs until well combined.
Transfer to the prepared baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Keywords: Use day-old bread for optimal texture; it absorbs flavors better. Feel free to customize with herbs like thyme or add nuts for crunch. To make it vegan, substitute butter with olive oil and use vegetable broth.
