Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced).
- Lightly toast bread - Spread bread out on tray (squished is fine). Bake for 8 minutes until lightly toasted – pale gold ok, should be soft on inside but crispy on outside. Transfer into large bowl.
- Cook sausage - Meanwhile, place about 1 tsp butter in a large skillet over high heat. Once melted, add sausage and cook, breaking it up as you go. Once cooked with a few golden bits, pour the sausage over the bread (yes, including all the fat!).
- Sauté - Return skillet to stove, turn down to medium. Add remaining butter. Once melted, add onion, cook 2 minutes. Add celery and apple, cook for 3 minutes.
- Simmer - Add pecans, chicken stock, cream, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir. Bring to simmer, then cook for 2 minutes, then pour it into the bowl. Mix well, ensuring all the bread is evenly coated. Get in there with your hands if needed!
- Taste and add more salt if needed (depends on saltiness of sausage).
- Bake - Transfer into a 2 litre / 2 quarts baking dish. Cover with foil, bake 40 minutes.
- Brown - Remove foil, brush with Extra melted butter if desired. Then broil/grill on high for 2 to 4 minutes until the top is nicely browned (watch it carefully - but be brave! Colour = flavour!).
- Serve warm, sprinkled with parsley, fresh thyme or some small fresh sage leaves if desired!
