Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to bring this flavorful stuffing to life:
- 1 loaf of day-old bread (white or a mix of your favorite types, cut into cubes)
- 1 cup fresh oysters, shucked and chopped (feel free to use canned if fresh is not available)
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth if you prefer)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp sage
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want it nice and warm for that stuffing!
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion, sautéing them until they’re soft and fragrant, usually around 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and sage to the skillet, stirring it all together. Cook for another minute until those seasonings release their delightful aromas.
- In a large bowl, combine your bread cubes and the sautéed mixture. Toss them together gently.
- Fold in the chopped oysters, parsley, and beaten eggs into the bread mixture.
- Pour in the chicken broth gradually, mixing to ensure everything is well combined. Adjust the moisture to your preference; you want it moist but not soggy.
- Season with salt and pepper as you like.
- Transfer the stuffing into a greased baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then take off the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Once done, let it cool for a few minutes and serve it hot. Enjoy this flavorful dish with your loved ones!
