Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound sourdough bread cut or torn into 1-inch pieces (about 10 cups)
  • 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 cups celery diced
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (or 1 Tablespoon dried)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh sage chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried
  • 1 Tablespoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place cubed sourdough bread onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 20-30 minutes until crunchy and lightly browned. Let cool.
  • Increase oven temperature to 350°F.
  • In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onions and celery. Cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add sausage to the pan and cook until the meat is no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Add the garlic, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Transfer to a large bowl to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth and eggs. Pour broth over the cooked onion mixture and stir to combine. Add the bread cubes. Gently stir to coat each piece of bread, allowing the bread to soak up the liquid.
  • Pour mixture into a buttered 9x13-inch dish. Bake on the middle rack for 45 minutes or until golden on top. Garnish with chopped herbs.
