Pull off the leaves from the sage and chop the fresh thyme.

Melt a generous amount of butter in a skillet.

Add diced onion and celery to the skillet with a pinch of salt.

Sauté until the vegetables are soft.

Prep the bread by tearing it into rustic pieces or cutting it into cubes.

Let the bread dry out overnight or dry it in the oven at 250°F.

Add the sautéed onion and celery mixture to the bread.

Stir to combine and cool the mixture slightly before adding eggs.

Whisk together two eggs and add them to the mixture.

Pour in vegetable stock gradually, about two cups, until the mixture is moist but not mushy.

Rub softened butter across a 9 by 13 baking dish to grease it.

Transfer the stuffing mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out.

Cover the dish with foil for the first half of baking time.

Bake the stuffing until the edges are crispy and golden brown, checking for doneness.

If the top isn't golden brown enough, turn on the broiler for a quick finish.
