Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb loaf of bread
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 onion , chopped
  • 4 ribs celery , chopped

  • 1 heaping teaspoon fresh chopped thyme

Instructions
 

  • Cut bread into ½-inch cubes. Spread out evenly on a sheet pan. Toast in a 225°F oven for 30 minutes until dried out. You can also leave the bread out uncovered overnight instead.

  • Add garlic and herbs and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Combine toasted bread and vegetables in a large bowl and then transfer to a grease 9x13 inch baking pan or casserole dish.
  • Whisk together broth and eggs and pour over bread mixture. Pour slowly and try to moisten all the cubed bread.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15-20 minutes more until golden brown.

Notes

  • To make ahead: 1) Prepare as directed without baking. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Add 10-15 minutes of covered bake time. OR 2) Bake as directed, then cool completely. Cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bake covered at 350°F until warmed through, about 30 minutes. To crisp up the edges, take the foil off for the last 5-10 minutes.
