Ingredients that Make Magic Happen
To start your stuffing saga, you’ll need a handful of ingredients that are just waiting to be mingled together in savory harmony. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 loaf of bread, cubed (preferably day-old, because stale is the new fresh!)
- 1 cup of celery, chopped (adds that oh-so-subtle crunch)
- 1 cup of onion, chopped (makes you cry, but it’s worth it!)
- 1/2 cup of butter (because butter, obviously)
- 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth (moisture magic!)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme (because who doesn’t want a little thyme travel?)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh sage (spice up your life!)
- Salt and pepper to taste (don’t be shy!)
- Optional: Pecans or walnuts for that nutty twist (if you’re feeling adventurous!)
Instructions: The Path to Stuffing Glory
Now, before you get overly excited and throw all the ingredients together, let’s follow these steps to stuffing perfection:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s the magic number, folks).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in your chopped onions and celery and sauté until they’re soft and translucent—approximately 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them; we don’t want burnt offerings!
- In a large bowl, combine your cubed bread, sautéed veggies, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up like you’re creating an award-winning salad.
- Gradually pour in the broth, stirring gently until the bread is just moistened. Remember, we’re going for moist, not mush!
- Transfer your stuffing mixture into a greased baking dish. Don’t skimp on that grease—it helps in achieving that golden-brown finish we all love.
- Bake uncovered for about 30-35 minutes, until it’s golden and slightly crisp on top. Time to let those heavenly aromas waft through your home!
- Once done, let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist) before diving in. Now it’s ready to steal the spotlight on your holiday table!
And there you have it! A simple, yet utterly delicious Classic Herb Stuffing recipe that’s bound to impress. Happy stuffing!
