- but not browned.
- Melt butter over low heat in a large skillet.
- Add onions, celery, parsley, and mushrooms.
- Saute for about 3 minutes while stirring to prevent burning.
- Place bread cubes in a large bowl.
- Add vegetable mixture and seasonings to bread and toss well.
- Pour in about 1/4 cup broth at a time, gently stirring to moisten bread cubes.
- Continue to add gradually add broth until ingredients are moist. (Avoid over moistening to prevent "soggy" dressing.)
