Instructions
Creating Grandma’s Thanksgiving Dressing is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Bread: Spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Herbs: Stir in the sage, thyme, and parsley, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed vegetables.
6. Mix Broth and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Combine Mixtures: Pour the broth mixture over the bread and vegetables, stirring gently to combine. The bread should be moist but not soggy.
8. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
