This savory slow cooker herb stuffing is a delightful twist on the classic Thanksgiving side dish, featuring a blend of fresh herbs and hearty bread.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop.
Melting the butter ensures it mixes evenly with the other ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, celery, onion, poultry seasoning, sage, pepper, salt, and thyme.
Chop the celery and onion finely for a more uniform texture in the stuffing.
Add the eggs and chicken broth to the bowl and mix well.
Whisk the eggs before adding them to ensure they blend smoothly.
Stir in the bread cubes until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Use your hands to gently toss the bread cubes for even coating without breaking them.
Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker and set it to high for 45 minutes.
Cooking on high initially helps to heat the stuffing quickly and evenly.
Reduce the slow cooker to low and cook for an additional 6 hours.
Stir the stuffing occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serve the stuffing warm as a side dish.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme for a touch of elegance.
