Instructions

- Whisk eggs, chicken stock, fresh thyme and sage in a large mixing bowl
- Add sourdough bread pieces to egg mixture and stir to coat. Fold in onion mixture then place stuffing mixture into prepared pan
- Bake 1 hour or until bread becomes golden brown and slightly crispy on top
Notes
Rip or cut sourdough bread into cubes.
I use a dry white wine like chardonnay but pinot grigio or any dry white wine will work.
Fresh herbs and garlic are best for this recipe.
If bread becomes brown too quickly on top, add foil until done cooking to prevent burning.
Serve warm. Turkey gravy or chicken gravy pairs perfectly over the top.
