Homemade Cubed Stuffing is cozy, golden, and way better than anything from a box. With toasty bread cubes, savory herbs, and plenty of flavor packed into every bite, it’s the kind of side dish that makes the whole house smell like the holidays.
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread bread cubes on a large baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring once, until dry and lightly golden. Let cool.
Increase oven temp to 350°F (175°C) for baking the stuffing later. Transfer bread cubes to a large bowl.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery (and garlic, if using). Cook for about 8–10 minutes, until soft and fragrant. Stir in poultry seasoning, sage, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then add the chicken broth and whisk to combine. Pour the mixture evenly over the dried bread cubes, tossing gently until everything is well coated.
Transfer into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 10–15 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set. Drizzle the top with melted butter or more herbs, if desired. Enjoy!
