Classic Thanksgiving Dressing With Parsley, Sage and Thyme

Recipe View Prepare the Bread: Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on two large baking sheets. Allow them to air dry for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to achieve the perfect texture. (3+ hours)

Recipe View Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), positioning racks in the lower- and upper-middle. Generously grease a 3-quart baking dish to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Toast the Bread: Bake the bread cubes in the preheated oven until they turn a beautiful golden brown, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. (12-15 minutes)

Recipe View Sauté the Aromatics: Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and celery, sautéing until they soften and become fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a large mixing bowl. (13-15 minutes)

Recipe View Combine and Mix: In the bowl with the sautéed vegetables, gently stir in the toasted bread cubes, warmed chicken broth, beaten eggs, minced parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake to Perfection: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dressing to steam. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Create a Crust: Remove the foil and continue baking until the top of the dressing is beautifully crusty and golden brown, approximately 10 minutes more. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Serve Immediately: Let the dressing cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this classic Thanksgiving dish as a heartwarming addition to your holiday table.
