Andouille Stuffing Recipe
1 lb Andouille Sausage, diced
3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter plus more for baking dish
1 lb of good-quality day-old white bread, rye bread, cornbread, or a mix, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups)
1 1/2 cups of fine-diced shallot
1 1/2 cups 1/4" medium-dice celery, with leaves
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 T chopped fresh sage
1 T chopped fresh rosemary
1 T chopped fresh thyme
1 ts salt
1 ts freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 cups broth of your choice, divided
2 large eggs
Preparation
Pre-heat oven to 250F. Butter a 13x9x2 inch baking fish and set aside. Scatter bread(s) in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; sauté Andouille until browned and crisped and remove from heat.
In the same pan, throw shallots and celery. Sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper.Pour in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss. Let cool.
Preheat oven to 350F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake about 40 minutes.
Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).
