INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Place torn bread onto a sheet pan and toast for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and play in a large bowl.
- In a large sauté pan, add butter, chopped onions, and cook on medium heat until translucent. Add the celery, herbs, and stir. Cook for another 3 minutes and add the pecans and dried cranberries. Season with kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Set aside and allow to come to room temperature.
- Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the toasted bread with the chicken broth and eggs. Stir to combine.
