Ingredients

  • 10 cups 1/2 inch cubes rosemary olive oil bread OR Italian herb bread
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage (casings removed)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 ribs celery finely diced
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 1 large Gala apple cored and diced into 1/3 inch cubes
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh sage
  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2-3 cups low sodium chicken stock or broth
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Cube bread and toast in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Alternately, spread on a sheet pan and leave on the counter overnight to dry out.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown sausage over medium high heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until no pink remains, breaking up into smaller pieces. Remove from the pan and discard fat.
  • To the same skillet add butter, celery and onion. Cook over medium-high for 3 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add apple, garlic, sage, poultry seasoning, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes or just until apple begins to soften. Remove from heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together broth, milk and eggs. Add cubed bread, sausage and vegetables. Mix well, adding more stock if needed, to fully moisten.
  • Spray 18 cups of two standard size muffin pans liberally with cooking spray. Divide mixture between cups.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or just until cooked through and the tops are crusty.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes, then serve.
