Ingredients

1 (1 pound) loaf crusty Italian or French bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes or, if drying and toasting bread is too much trouble, buy unflavored croutons or bread cubes
4 tablespoons butter
2 onions, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
¼ cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon dried sage, rubbed between fingers
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 large eggs

Directions

Spread bread cubes in a single layer on two large sheet pans and let dry for a few hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Adjust the oven racks to lower- and upper-middle positions. Grease a 3-quart baking dish.
Bake bread cubes in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery; sauté until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
Add bread, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, chicken broth, and eggs to onion mixture; mix well. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish; cover with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until steamy, about 30 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking until top is crusty, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
