Equipment

Oven adjusted to center position
9 x 13 casserole dish
Measuring cups and spoons
large mixing bowl
wooden spoon
Foil

Ingredients

2 boxes New York Bakery Garlic Texas Toast
1 lb pork sausage mild, sweet, or spicy
1 medium yellow onion finely diced
2 stalks celery finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon Fresh sage chopped and fresh thyme
1 cup fresh cranberries chopped
1 ½ cups chicken or vegetable broth warm
2 large eggs
Fresh Italian parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven according to the box instructions for the garlic bread. Bake the New York Bakery Garlic Texas Toast slices until crispy and golden. Once cool enough to handle, cut into bite-sized cubes.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pork sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Leave the rendered fat in the pan! Add the diced onions and celery, cooking until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, fresh sage, and thyme, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
In a massive mixing bowl, gently toss together the crispy garlic bread cubes, cooked sausage and veggie mixture, chopped fresh cranberries, extra fresh sage, and fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the warm broth and eggs. Drizzle over the bread and sausage mixture, tossing gently to moisten. Transfer to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15–20 minutes until the top is golden, and crisp.
