Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add diced onions, celery, and mushrooms, sautéing them for about 8-10 minutes until they are soft and golden.
  2. Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat and add crumbled pork breakfast sausage. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
  3. In a large casserole dish, add the thawed and cubed Czech bread dumplings or French rolls. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  4. Pour the cooked sausage-vegetable mixture over the bread cubes in the casserole dish and gently toss together.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1 cup of milk and pour it over the stuffing, folding to incorporate.
  6. Slowly pour in 2-3 cups of chicken or turkey broth, mixing until the stuffing is moist but not swimming in liquid.
  7. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. For an extra crispy topping, drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the stuffing during the last 5 minutes of baking.
