  • Add dry bread cubes to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Melt 1 stick of butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and salt; sauté until onions soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sage, thyme, and broth to the pan. Stir together and wait for the mixture to come to a boil.
  • Carefully remove from heat and pour over the bread cubes. Toss with a large spoon until bread is evenly saturated.
  • Let the mixture sit and cool in the bowl for about 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Add parsley, rosemary, egg, black pepper, and cayenne to the bowl and mix until evenly combined. Allow mixture to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
  • Melt remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add stuffing mixture, and pat down with a spatula. Cook until a golden brown crust forms, about 5 minutes, before turning the stuffing over, one spatula's worth at a time.
  • Cover and cook about 5 minutes, before uncovering and tossing again. Continue cooking and tossing uncovered, until the desired amount of browning and crusting has occurred.
  • Transfer to a casserole dish or serving plate.
