Prepare the breadPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast for 15 minutes until lightly golden and dried out. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
-
Prepare the oystersDrain the oysters, reserving ½ cup of the oyster liquor. Chop the oysters into bite-sized pieces if they're large. Set aside.
-
Sauté the vegetablesIn a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onions and celery, cooking until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Combine ingredientsAdd the sautéed vegetables to the bread cubes. Mix in the fresh herbs, chopped oysters, salt, pepper, and cayenne if using. Toss gently to combine.
-
Add the liquidsIn a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, chicken stock, white wine, and reserved oyster liquor. Pour this mixture over the bread and vegetable mixture, stirring gently until everything is evenly moistened.
-
Bake the stuffingButter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared dish, spreading it evenly. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
