Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 cups stale bread cubes (sourdough or brioche work well)
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp butter
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook 5–7 minutes until softened.
3. Add sliced mushrooms; cook 8–10 minutes until they release liquid and begin to brown.
4. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, cooked vegetables, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Pour in vegetable broth; toss gently until bread is moistened (add a splash more if needed).
6. Melt butter and drizzle over the mixture; toss to coat.
7. Transfer to a greased 8×8-inch (or similar) baking dish.
8. Bake 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden and stuffing is heated through.
9. Serve hot.
Notes
For deeper flavor, use a mix of wild mushrooms.
Mix can be prepared a day ahead; add a little extra broth before baking if dry.
For a crisper top, broil the last minute or two—watch closely.
A cozy vegetarian side for holidays or any cool-weather dinner!
