Rustic Herb Skillet Stuffing

I may be obsessed with a lot of things. Guacamole, risotto, different pasta dishes etc. But let me tell you something…. this is the honest to goodness best stuffing recipe in the entire world. I kid you not. I could and would eat this every single day for an entire month if given the chance. The flavors will rock your world.

Last year was my first year with this stuffing. I made it not once, not twice, but three times before actual Thanksgiving. And each and every time I made it, it was devoured. All of the herbs and seasonings work perfectly together to create an out of this world stuffing. The toasted bread cubes and nice and golden brown and then soaked with the buttery herb mixture and then baked until perfection. I’ve made a few tweaks this year and it brings a smile to my face every time I take a bite! I wish Thanksgiving was once a month so I had an excuse to make stuffing more frequently. In fact, I don’t know why I don’t make stuffing more frequently, especially this once, because it’s life changing. Cross my heart. Make it. You’ll thank me later.

Rustic Herb Skillet Stuffing

Ingredients

1 loaf country-style French bread with crust, cut into 1-inch cubes
10 tablespoons butter
5 oz Cremini Mushrooms
5 oz Shitaki Mushrooms
1 onion, sliced
2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced
2 cups finely chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage

2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread bread on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bread is dry, about 15 minutes. Cool.
Melt 10 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion and saute for 5-6 minutes. Add green onions, celery, all the herbs, garlic, salt and pepper and sauté until celery is tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously grease a large skillet or baking dish. Place bread cubes in very large bowl. Add warm vegetable mixture; toss to combine.
Whisk eggs and 3/4 cup broth in medium bowl. Add egg mixture to stuffing and toss to coat. Mix in Parmesan.
