Now that you’re excited about making this homemade stuffing recipe, let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions to ensure your dish turns out amazing:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Bread: Place the cubed bread in a large bowl. If it’s not already stale, you can toast it in the oven for about 5-10 minutes until it’s lightly golden.
3. Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion, sautéing until soft, approximately 5–7 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the sautéed mixture over the cubed bread. Sprinkle in the sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, mixing effectively.
5. Moisten with Broth: Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth over the bread mixture, tossing gently until everything is evenly moistened.
6. Add Eggs: Stir in the beaten eggs until thoroughly combined. This will help bind the stuffing together.
7. Transfer to a Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
8. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
9. Cool and Garnish: Once baked, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

These steps will guide you in crafting this incredible stuffing effortlessly.
