Directions
-
The day or night before cooking, tear or cut bread into small cubes (about 1-inch) and place into an extra-large mixing bowl. (We do this ahead so they can get a little stale and dried out.)
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When it foams, add onion and celery to skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until soft. (Turn down heat to low or medium-low if they are browning.) Add garlic to skillet and cook 30-60 seconds, until fragrant. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
-
Add pork sausage to skillet, breaking up with a spatula, and cooking for 6-8 minutes stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Add to bowl with bread cubes.
-
Meanwhile, in a large glass measuring cup (at least 2 cups), whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, and egg. Set aside.
-
Add fresh herbs to bread cubes and sausage mixture.
-
Pour chicken broth mixture over the top of the bread and sausage mixture. Gently fold mixture together so that all of the bread is coated in liquid and transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish
-
Bake for 45-55 minutes, until golden brown.
-
MAKE AHEAD: Tear bread and let it get stale a bit, cook the onions, celery, and pork sausage. Reheat the sausage mixture and assemble the stuffing.
