Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
Scatter the bread evenly onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, tossing the bread halfway through. You want the bread to be golden and crispy. Pay attention to it though because it can burn quickly. Remove from the oven and cool completely but don’t turn off the oven yet.
In your skillet, melt half of the butter in your oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the celery, yellow onion, green onion, minced garlic, sage, thyme, chives and salt and pepper to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 6-7 minutes. Once done, set aside for a minute.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with the broth.
Add the crispy bread to the bowl and stir to coat the bread in the egg mixture.
Add the herbed onion mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.
Melt half of the remaining butter (approximately 2 tablespoons) in the empty skillet over low heat.
Once melted, add the stuffing back to the pan. Push it down a little so that it is a nice even layer in the skillet. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes to crisp up a little.
Add the last of the butter in thin slices over the top of the stuffing. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. The top will turn a lovely golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Notes:
• This is the best and most crispy stuffing recipe ever. This gorgeous stuffing is spiced with a beautiful blend of fresh herbs that is lightly fried before baking to give this Herbed Stuffing a crispy crust around the outside. Serve it alongside your turkey, chicken or any poultry dish. Perfect for a fall Sunday meal.
• Store leftovers, covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or pan fry on low until warmed through.
• You can freeze this stuffing, after you cook it, in an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in a skillet when you are ready to serve.
• I used a mixture of white and multigrain baguette. The multigrain really adds a depth to the stuffing. Try with a sourdough version too.
• To make this version vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken.
