Number Of Ingredients 13

12 cups french bread (cut into 3/4 inch cubes)
4 cups sourdough bread (cut into 3/4 inch cubes)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (plus more for buttering baking pan)
2 large onions (cut in half and sliced thinly (about 5-6 cups raw))
1 teaspoon salt + more to taste
A few grinds of black pepper
1 1/2 cups about 1/3 pound chopped chanterelle mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped parsley
2 teaspoons fresh chopped thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 teaspoons fresh chopped sage (or 1 teaspoon dried)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and butter a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Spread bread cubes on two rimmed cookie sheets and bake for about 10-12 minutes, stirring once, until they begin to turn golden brown and are fairly dry and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Add onions, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple grounds of fresh ground pepper. Cook on medium-low for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and well-browned (caramelized).
  • Increase heat to medium and add the celery and mushrooms to the pan. Stirring frequently, saute until tender, about four minutes.
  • Add sage, thyme, and parsley, and stir for another minute.
  • Add a cup of the broth, gently stirring until much of the bits of onion have come off of bottom of the pan.
  • Set aside and let onion and broth mixture cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg.
  • Stir in the onion/broth mixture and the rest of the broth.
  • Add the bread, and toss to coat evenly.
  • Pour into the prepared baking pan and press the top gently.
  • Bake uncovered for 40 - 50 minutes or until browned and crisp on top.
