Sourdough Bread Stuffing
This Sourdough Bread Stuffing recipe is, in my opinion, the ultimate stuffing recipe. You have all the rich flavors of classic stuffing – butter, garlic, onion, celery, herbs, and plenty of parmesan cheese – but also the slight tang and delicious bite from sourdough. It has a crispy top, fluffy center, and then some extra crisp bottom bits.

Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of sourdough bread, 8 cups cubed
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 yellow onion minced
- 1 shallot minced
- 1 cup celery chopped, 2-3 stalks
- 3 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cube the bread. Cut or tear the sourdough into 1-inch cubes.
- Toast the bread. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Put the bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet or in the dish you are going to bake the stuffing in, and toast for about 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the onion, shallot, garlic, and celery. While the bread toasts, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion, shallot, garlic, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all are softened - about 10 minutes.
- Add the herbs. To the cooked vegetables add the fresh sage, thyme and parsley - cook for another 2 minutes to bloom their flavors. Set the mixture aside and let it cool slightly to room temperature.
- Whisk the egg and stock. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the egg and chicken stock.
- Add the herb mixture and parmesan. To the egg mixture whisk in the herb mixture, parmesan cheese, kosher salt and pepper.
- Toss with the bread and transfer to a baking dish. Add the toasted cubed bread to the bowl and toss to combine well. All of the bread should be saturated, with a little additional liquid left at the bottom of the bowl. Transfer to your baking dish.
- Bake. Bake in a preheated 375°F covered for 30 minutes and uncovered for an additional 30 minutes until deeply golden brown.
