Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
1 pound loose breakfast sausage (or use links and remove the casings)
2 onions, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
  • Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and sausage-broth mixture and toss until evenly combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cover with foil.
