CROISSANT crouton + sausage + dried cherry stuffing

3/4 cup butter

1lb country style or sage pork sausage

1 large onion diced 

6 stalks of celery diced 

2 carrots diced

6 large fresh sage leaves, chopped

2 sprigs rosemary, leaves removed and chopped

2 sprigs thyme, leave removed

5 oz dried sour cherries

2 Tbsp bourbon

1 Tbsp maple syrup or mild honey

1 tsp lemon juice

3-4 cups chicken or turkey stock

1 large egg

Salt and pepper 

instructions: Place the croissant croutons (and bread if using) in a large mixing bowl. Set to the side. 

Brown the sausage in a skillet, breaking it up into pieces as you go. Remove the sausage from the skillet, place in mixing bowl with the bread and set to the side. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and add onion, celery, and carrots to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft and translucent—add to the bowl with the bread and sausage. 

While the vegetables cook, plump the cherries by placing in a bowl with the bourbon, maple, and lemon. Microwave for 30-60 seconds. Add to the bowl with the bread, sausage and veggies. 

Melt the remaining butter and use a few tablespoons to grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. 

Whisk 3 cups of the stock with the egg—reserve the remaining stock for later if needed. Pour the mixture over the bread, sausage, and veggies, add half the remaining butter,  and mix everything well, adding more stock of needed. 

Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and drizzle the top with remaining butter. Let the stuffing rest* at least 1 hour before baking—covered in foil—at 350F for 45 minutes. Turn the oven to 400F, remove the foil and bake an addition 15 minutes. 

Garnish with fried herbs if desired.

How to Proof In Your Oven


1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and place an 8x8 or 9x13 oven safe pan in the bottom of the oven. 

 2. Place the 9x13 baking dish of croissant cinnamon rolls on the middle rack and pour 3 cups of boiling water into the 8x8 or 9x13 oven safe pan.  

3. Close the oven door and allow the dough to rise. If you limit the time that the oven door is open, the proof box can be used for both the first and second rise without the need to refresh the water.

4. PROOF FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS OR UNTIL CROISSANTS HAVE DOUBLED IN SIZE.
