Hello darlings,
There are so many recipes out there, I know. And stuffing is one of those things that a lot of people just make from a box. I myself have been guilty of that before. However, this year I saw it as my mission to come up with a simple, classic, extremely flavorful stuffing recipe to share with you. It is crunchy on top and soft on the inside, just the way it should be.

- 8 cups dried bread cubes

- 2 tbsp sage leaves stems removed, finely chopped

- In a large skillet, melt 1 stick of butter. Once melted, add in the celery and onion and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add in your garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary and sage leaves. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, add your dried bread cubes. Stir in the celery, onion and herb butter mixture.
- In a large measuring cup, add your chicken broth, two eggs, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour over bread crumbs and stir it all together.
- Pour into your baking dish and take your last stick of butter, and slice it scattering the slices around the top. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Then take foil off and bake for another 20 minutes until top is a little crunchy.
