Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the cubed bread on a large baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes, until dry and lightly golden.
  2. While the bread toasts, melt the butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery. Cook for 8-10 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the minced garlic, sage, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  4. Transfer the toasted bread cubes to a very large mixing bowl. Pour the hot vegetable and herb mixture over the bread and toss gently to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the broth, beaten eggs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and vegetables. Gently toss everything together until the bread is evenly moistened.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover tightly with foil.
  8. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is crisp and golden brown.
