Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Spread the cubed day-old white French bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until thoroughly dried out but not browned.
  2. In a large skillet, melt ¾ cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped celery, stirring frequently for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed onion and celery mixture. Add parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper; pour in the chicken broth, stirring gently.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining broth and eggs. Drizzle over the stuffing, stirring to coat evenly.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, dot with remaining butter, cover with foil, and bake for 40 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes until golden brown and crispy on top.
