Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare bread by tearing it into bite-sized cubes. Spread on a baking sheet and let dry for one hour.

  3. Stir in fresh herbs along with salt and pepper; cook an additional minute to meld flavors.
