Chestnut Herb Stuffing

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the diced bread onto a dry sheet pan and bake for 10-15 minutes until bread is slightly golden and dried out. Remove and turn oven down to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a large stock pot add 2 tablespoons of butter and saute the celery and onions with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until veggies begin to soften. Turn off heat.

Step 3

In a separate pot add the stock and 4 tablespoons butter and heat over medium heat until butter has just melted. Meanwhile add the toasted bread to the pot with the celery and onions. Add the warmed stock and fold together gently. Add the heavy cream and fold in again.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine the eggs, chestnuts, herbs, and salt. Mix together, then add mixture to the large pot with the bread mixture. Fold together being careful not to break up the bread too much.

Step 5

Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish and pour mixture into it. Add a few small pats of butter on top and bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and no longer jiggles in the center. Serve and enjoy!!!
