Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound sourdough bread
  • 1 pound challah bread
  • 1 stick butter
  • 3 thinly sliced medium leeks
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 medium carrots finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 2 parsnips
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh sage
  • 2 tbsp  minced fresh thyme
  • 3 finely minced garlic cloves
  • 2 Cup vegetable stock
  • 2 Cup Apple cider
  •  ¾ Cup Slivered almonds
  • ½ Cup Heavy cream
  • ½ Cup Minced parsley
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 chopped sweet apple

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, toss the toasted bread with the vegetables, almonds, parsley and apples.
  2.  Season with two heavy pinches of salt and pepper.
  3. Add heavy cream and eggs and mix thoroughly to combine.
  4. Transfer wet stuffing mixture to a baking dish.
  5. Bake until golden and set, about an hour or so.

Notes

  • To make challah croutons, the process is easier than you'd imagine. Just cut the bread into 1 inch cube sized pieces and you can enjoy it with a good warm bowl of soup (that you prefer) The beauty of this dish is that you can have it with any type of main course meal!
  • Glaze the top of the bread properly with the beaten eggs. It's better if you beat the eggs with a sprinkle of salt (around a teaspoon amount of sea salt or kosher salt) This will help the breads flavor to enhance and give out a beautiful golden cored crust on top of the bread.
