How To Make jesi’s southern dressing

Step 1

Egg Bread:

Step 2

Preheat oven for 350. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Pour bowl into a lightly greased baking dish. I use large cast iron skillet. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour until dark brown. Set aside.
Step 3

Chicken broth:
Step 4

Place chicken in stockpot and add water enough to cover. Add celery, onion and salt. Boil until chicken is done and falling of the bone. About 1 1/2 hours. Strain broth and discard celery and onion. Retain chicken. Let broth cool and place in refrigerator allowing the fat to form at the top. Discard the fat.
Step 5

Dressing:
Step 6

Crumble egg bread in a large mixing bowl. Add broth until moistened. Mix in toast and add broth just to the point the breads can’t hold anymore. Freeze remaining broth for future use. Let cool.
Step 7

Mix in eggs, onion, celery, salt and pepper. Optionally you can add some of the chicken to your mix now.
Step 8

Pour dressing into a greased casserole pan. Bake in a pr heated oven at 350 for 1 -1 ½ hours stirring 2 or 3 times while baking, when the top turns brown. Don’t overcook. Check with spoon for firmness. Serve hot.
