Classic Holiday Dressing from Chef E.J. Hodgkinson
Active Prep time: 30 minutes
Total time: 2 hours
Serves: 6-8
Special equipment: baking dish(13”x9”x2”)
Ingredients:
1.5lbs Rustic sourdough loaf(cut in ¾ inch cubes)
1 cup butter(unsalted)
2 cups yellow onion(medium dice)
1 cup celery(sliced thin)
½ cup parsley(chopped fine)
2 Tbsp sage(chopped fine)
1 Tbsp rosemary(chopped fine)
1 Tbsp thyme(chopped fine)
3 cups chicken stock
3 ea whole eggs
½ cup apple sauce or apple butter
1 Tbsp kosher salt
2 tsp black pepper(ground)
MOP:
Preheat oven to 250F, place cubed sourdough on baking sheet and bake until bread has dried, approximately 20 minutes. Set aside. In medium sauce pot, melt butter, add yellow onion and celery and sweat until translucent (8-10 minutes). Whisk eggs and chicken stock together. In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, mix well, and lightly squeeze the bread cubes to absorb any excess liquid. Place mixture in baking dish(13”x9”x2”)and cover with aluminum foil(Pro tip—use pan spray to spray the side of the foil that will be touching the dressing to prevent from sticking while baking). Preheat oven to 350F, place in oven and bake until set, or internal temperature reaches 165F(30-40 minutes). Remove and let cool. To serve, preheat oven to 350F, remove foil and bake 20-30 minutes, until top is golden brown, and hot all the way through. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
This recipe can be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable stock for chicken stock, and can be further elaborated on if desired by adding more ingredients such as sausage, bacon, mushrooms, cranberries etc.
