Ingredients
– 1 rustic Italian bread loaf (about 12 cups cubed)
– 1 pound ground pork sausage
– 1/2 cup butter
– 1 large sweet onion, peeled and chopped
– 1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
– 1 pound button mushrooms, quartered or chopped
– 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
– 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
– 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
– 2 large eggs
– 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-First, cut the bread into 3/4-inch cubes and let it dry for at least one hour or up to several days to get that perfect texture.
2-Then, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking dish to avoid any sticking issues.
3-In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the ground pork sausage, breaking it into small pieces until it’s browned.
4-Next, add the chopped onions and celery, cooking them for a few minutes until they soften.
5-Stir in the quartered or chopped button mushrooms and sauté until the vegetables are very soft and the sausage is fully cooked.
6-Once that’s done, mix in the fresh herbs like parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, then remove the pan from the heat.
7-In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and chicken broth together, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
8-Pour this mixture into the sausage and vegetable mix, stirring gently to combine.
9-Fold in the bread cubes, making sure they’re evenly coated for the best results.
10-Transfer the whole mixture into your prepared baking dish and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for a nice golden finish.
11-Bake it for 45 minutes or until it’s puffed and golden in the center.
12-Let it cool a bit before serving warm, and you’ll have a dish that’s full of flavor and easy to share.

🥖 Use a dense, crusty bread like Italian country bread or ciabatta for best results.
⏳ Bread should dry out before using to hold shape and texture; this can be done several days ahead.
🌿 Fresh herbs are recommended for special occasions to boost flavor, though dried herbs can be used for everyday cooking.
