Savory Parsley Stuffing

Ingredients

1  loaf (16 oz.) white bread, sliced and cut into 3/4-inch cubes

6  tablespoons butter

1  large onion, finely chopped

3   celery ribs, finely chopped

1/3  cup chopped fresh parsley

1-1/4  teaspoons dried sage

1/2  teaspoon dried thyme

1/2  teaspoon salt

1/4  teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1  large egg, beaten

1/4  to 1/2 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degree F. Place bread cubes on a jelly-roll pan; bake 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and celery; cook until onion is translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Transfer mixture to bowl with bread. Stir in egg and enough broth so that stuffing just holds together when lightly pressed between your hands. Add additional broth is stuffing seems dry.

3. Spoon stuffing into a buttered baking dish. Bake until the top has formed a crust and stuffing is heated through, about 30 minutes. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
