🍞 Stuffing Recipe 🍞

[Mui]

The best Thanksgiving stuffing! Based on my family's classic recipe, it's rich and savory, made with fresh herbs, celery, butter, and leeks. You should try this, guys, and I swear it's worth a try!

Ingredients:

• 1 small loaf (1 pound) day-old crusty sourdough bread, not sandwich bread
• ½ cup salted butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted butter for topping
• 2 leeks, halved, thinly sliced, and rinsed well (2 cups)
• 4 celery stalks, diced (1¾ cups)
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• ¾ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup chopped fresh sage
• Heaping ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1½ to 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x11 or 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Tear the bread into 1-inch pieces and place in a very large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes, turning the heat to low halfway through.
• Pour the leek mixture over the bread and sprinkle with the sage, parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Use your hands to toss until coated. Pour 1½ cups of the broth evenly over the stuffing and toss to coat. Add the eggs and toss again. The bread should feel pretty wet. If it’s still a bit dry, mix in the remaining ½ cup of broth. The amount you use will depend on how dense and dry your bread was.
• Transfer the mixture to the baking dish. If making ahead, stop here, cover the dish with foil, and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
• When ready to bake, drizzle the 1 tablespoon melted butter on top and bake, covered, for 30 minutes. If the stuffing is still pretty wet, uncover the dish and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes to crisp the top a bit.

Notes:

• If your bread is not stale, spread the torn pieces in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a 350°F oven to dry them out a bit before proceeding with the recipe.

Enjoy your delicious homemade stuffing! ​
