October 11, 2023
ACTIVE TIME 25 minutes
TOTAL TIME 2 hours 45 minutes
Ingredients
8–10 servings
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter plus more for baking dish
1 lb. good-quality day-old white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups)
2½ cups chopped yellow onions
1½ cups ¼" slices celery
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
2 large eggs
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°. Grease a 13x9x2" baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside. Scatter 1 lb. good-quality day-
old white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups), 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.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt ¾ cup unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 2½ cups chopped yellow onions
and 1½ cups ¼" slices celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage, 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary, 1 Tbsp. chopped
fresh thyme, 2 tsp. kosher salt, and 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle in 1¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth
and toss gently. Let cool.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk 2 large eggs and remaining 1¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth 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.
Step 4
Continue to bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40–45 minutes longer.
Do ahead: Dressing can be baked (before browning) 1 day ahead. Uncover and let cool, then cover and chill. Uncover
and bake until top is browned and crisp, 50–60 minutes.
