Ingredients

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for pan and topping

2 cups diced onions

2 cups diced celery

2 apples, cored and chopped

1 tablespoon minced fresh sage

1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

3 cups chicken broth

2 eggs

1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

16 cups cubed stale country white bread

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, apples, sage and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the cubed bread, then pour in the vegetable-broth mixture and toss.
