A French Twist on the American classic. For this recipe, I used dried baguette and brought it together with garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley and sage. Instead of just using chicken broth to soak the bread, I used a creamy chicken broth mixture. I layered the stuffing with brie and some cranberry sauce for a sweet and bright touch (optional.)

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

If you didn't dry the bread overnight, place your pieces of bread onto a baking sheet and put them in the oven at 250 degrees for about an hour.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, melt half of the stick of butter. Add the diced onions and celery along with a generous pinch of kosher salt. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the rest of the butter, then add the garlic, all of the herbs, salt and pepper. Season with another generous pinch of kosher salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Adjust the heat to low heat and let that butter infuse.

Step 5

Place a large sauce pan on another burner on medium high heat. Pour the chicken broth into the sauce pan. Let it heat for 2-3 minutes, just before boiling. Add the cream cheese and whisk until the chicken broth is creamy. Once combined, taste the mixture and add salt if needed. Remove from the heat.

Step 6

Transfer the broth mixture to the onion/celery mixture and stir together over medium heat, until thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat.

Step 7

Pour the baguette pieces into a large mixing bowl.

Step 8

Add the creamy herb mixture and the eggs and fully coat the bread pieces. You can toss with your hands or tongs (I prefer clean hands to really feel if every piece of bread absorbed the liquid.) NOTE: Once the bread mixture is fully combined, use your judgement! If you think it feels dry for your taste, add some more chicken broth, 2 tablespoons at a time, until it fits what you are looking for.

Step 9

Pour half of the bread mixture into a buttered 9 x 13 baking dish, until the bottom is fully coated. Place half of the brie cubes onto the bread. If you like cranberry sauce, add dollops of cranberry sauce as well.

Step 10

Add the rest of the bread mixture on top. Top with the remaining brie cubes and more cranberry sauce, if desired. Drizzle one tbsp of melted butter on top for that golden brown perfection. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 11

Adjust the heat to 400 degrees. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes uncovered, until melty and golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!
