Ingredients

2 baguettes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 whole sage leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon summer savoury, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth or stock
3 large eggs, whisked
non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions, salt and pepper. Saute until the onions are caramelized, stirring occasionally at first and more frequently as onions begin to brown.
Once the onions are cooked, add the garlic. Stir into the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
Next, stir in the sage, thyme, summer savoury, rosemary, and parsley. Cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and set the onion and herb mixture aside to cool.
In the meantime, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Once the onions are cooled, pour in the vegetable stock and stir to combine.
Next, stir in the whisked eggs.
Transfer the prepared baguette to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the onion and egg mixture. Gently toss until all of the bread pieces are well coated and the liquid has been almost fully absorbed.
Transfer the mixture to large baking dish which has been well greased with non-stick cooking spray.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the boil and spray the surface of the stuffing with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes more until stuffing is golden brown.
Cover with foil to keep warm until ready to serve. Enjoy!
