Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 10-ounce loaf brioche (preferably day-old), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus more for greasing dish
1 pound cremini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium fennel bulb, coarsely chopped (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 leeks (white and light-green parts only) split lengthwise and sliced (about 4 cups)
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Special equipment:
3-quart baking dish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Place cubed bread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until slightly dry, 10 to 15 minutes.
Raise oven temperature to 350°F. In a large sauté pan over high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until mushrooms have released their liquid and start to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape into a medium bowl and set aside, reserving pan.
Return pan to medium heat and melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add fennel and rosemary, and cook until fennel softens and starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add leeks and cook until all the vegetables are very soft, about 5 minutes more. Return mushrooms to pan, add broth, and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Add cubed bread and eggs and toss until mixture is combined.
Transfer bread mixture to baking dish. Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown and slightly puffed, 35 to 40 minutes (add 10 minutes if the dish has been refrigerated). Top with parsley and serve immediately.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms (such as oyster, shiitake and/or cremini), trimmed and sliced
Kosher salt
3 leeks (white and light green parts), halved lengthwise, thinly sliced and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley, tarragon and chives)
16 cups 1/2-inch stale brioche cubes (1 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
Melt 6 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, broth, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
Whisk the eggs and heavy cream in a large bowl. Add the herbs, bread cubes and mushroom-broth mixture and stir until combined. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small cubes and scatter evenly over the stuffing. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, 20 to 30 more minutes.
