Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet
  • Large Skillet
  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Offset spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Bread Base

  • 1 loaf country-style French bread, crust cut into 1-inch cubes (roughly 8 cups)

For the Vegetable Mixture

  • 10 tablespoons butter
  • 10 ounces crimini mushrooms
  • 2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups celery, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 ounces coarsely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread bread on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bread is dry, about 15 minutes. Cool.
  • Melt the butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 6 minutes, until softened. Add green onions, celery, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper and sauté until celery is tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Keep oven temperature at 375°F. Generously butter a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside. Place bread cubes in very large bowl. Add warm vegetable mixture; toss to combine.
  • Whisk eggs and broth in medium bowl. Add egg mixture to stuffing and toss to coat. Mix in Parmesan.
  • Use a ½ cup measuring cup to transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared muffin tin. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly before using an offset spatula to remove the muffins from the muffin tin.
