Ingredients

• 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

How to Make Savory Herb Stuffing

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and optional nuts. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
5. Pour the vegetable broth over the bread mixture, tossing gently until the bread is evenly moistened. If the mixture feels dry, add more broth, a little at a time.
6. Transfer the stuffing into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use day-old bread for the best texture; it absorbs the broth without becoming mushy.
• Feel free to mix in other add-ins like dried cranberries, apples, or sausage for added flavor and texture.
• For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free bread.
• If you prefer a more herby flavor, increase the amount of fresh herbs.

Easy Variations

• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some diced jalapeños.
• Swap out the vegetable broth for chicken broth for a richer flavor.
• Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or cornbread, to change the stuffing’s character.

What to Serve With It

• Roast turkey or chicken for a classic holiday spread.
• Glazed ham, bringing a sweet contrast to the savory stuffing.
• A hearty vegetable dish, like roasted Brussels sprouts or green beans.
• Creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.
