Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread sourdough cubes on a baking sheet. Toast for 10-15 minutes until slightly crisp, then cool.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter and cook sausage, breaking it into pieces, until browned. Remove and set aside, leaving drippings.
3. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet, then sauté onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, sage, and thyme for 1 minute.
4. In a large bowl, combine toasted bread cubes, cooked sausage, and sautéed vegetables. Toss gently.
5. Pour warm broth over the mixture in increments, tossing until cubes are moistened but not soggy. Stir in beaten eggs and season with salt and pepper.
6. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with remaining butter. Transfer stuffing mixture, pressing lightly to compact.
7. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and crisp.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
