The Ultimate Best Sourdough Stuffing

A cozy comfort food classic, perfect for holiday gatherings. This stuffing features day-old sourdough bread, fresh vegetables, and a blend of aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small loaf (1 pound) day-old crusty sourdough bread, torn into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ cup salted butter (plus 1 tablespoon melted butter for topping)
  • 2 leeks, halved, thinly sliced, and rinsed well
  • 4 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh sage
  • Heaping ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • to 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8×11 or 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, tear the sourdough bread into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add leeks, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the leek mixture over the torn bread and sprinkle the sage, parsley, rosemary, and thyme on top. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Pour 1½ cups of vegetable broth over the stuffing mix and toss again. Adjust moisture by adding more broth if necessary.
  6. Add beaten eggs and mix well.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover and refrigerate if making ahead.
  8. When ready to serve, drizzle with melted butter and bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes for a crispy top.

Notes

Use day-old bread for optimal texture; fresh bread can become too soggy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
