Test Kitchen's Favorite Stuffing image

We like to use soft country white bread (which is sliced thicker than regular sandwich bread) in this classic stuffing/dressing because it absorbs flavors best. You can also try a fancier rustic loaf, such as pane Pugliese.

Time 1h40m

Yield Serves 8 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 loaf sliced country white bread (about 16 slices), cut into 1-inch pieces (14 cups)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for brushing
2 medium onions, chopped (3 cups)
3 celery stalks, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
12 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped (2 tablespoons)
1/3 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for serving
1 1/2 cups Simple Giblet Stock, or store-bought no-sodium-added chicken stock
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Divide bread between 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread in a single layer. Bake, stirring a few times, until crisp and dry, about 40 minutes. Let cool. Break a piece open to make sure it's dried all the way through; if not, bake a few more minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions, celery, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft and golden in places, 7 to 9 minutes. Add garlic, sage, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 1 minute. Pour in wine; cook until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Brush a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter. Transfer onion mixture to bowl with toasted bread; add parsley. Drizzle with stock, stirring to combine. Stir in eggs to evenly coat. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Top with buttered parchment; loosely wrap with foil. (If making ahead, refrigerate at this point until you're ready to bake.) Bake 20 minutes. Uncover; continue cooking until golden on top, about 20 minutes more. Serve, with more parsley sprinkled on top.
