Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter plus more for baking dish
1 pound good-quality day-old white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups)
2½ cups chopped yellow onions
1½ cups ¼" slices celery
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth, divided
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. (Note: Dressing can be made one day ahead up to this point. Uncover the dressing, let cool, then cover again and chill. The next day, proceed with the final bake as described below.)
  • Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).

ROCKY TOP COLESLAW DRESSING (FOR A CROWD)



Rocky Top Coleslaw Dressing (For a Crowd) image

This is great! So easy and so good! This makes about approx. 2 quarts, so you may want to cut it down. I use the leftover dressing for lots of things, add a little mustard and it's a delicious dressing for potato salad; put a little vinegar in for a salad dressing, and just so many uses. Try it and see what I mean!

VINAIGRETTE DRESSING FOR A CROWD



Vinaigrette Dressing for a Crowd image

This makes a huge amount of salad dressing for a few hundred people. For a church crowd or PTA spaghetti supper fund raiser. The leftover dressing keeps well if you use the dried parsley. But more attractive salad with the fresh because it stays brighter green. THIS CAN ALSO BE GIVEN IN JARS AS GIFTS. I am also listing a spaghetti recipe for a huge crowd too.
