BRIOCHE CHESTNUT STUFFING



Brioche Chestnut Stuffing image

Stuffing with made from eggy brioche and roasted chestnuts is a Thanksgiving classic. This one, seasoned with celery, onion and sage, and a little diced fennel for sweetness and depth, sticks relatively close to tradition. Use it to stuff a turkey, if you like, but it's even better baked separately in a shallow casserole dish, so the top can get nice and crisp. If you'd like to bake it ahead, you can do so up to 6 hours in advance. Just before serving, reheat it in a 350-degree oven.

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (14- to 16-ounce) brioche loaf, torn into 1-inch pieces
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), plus more for the pan
1 large onion, diced
2 large celery ribs, thinly sliced
1/2 cup diced fennel (about 1/2 small fennel bulb)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
5 ounces roasted, peeled chestnuts, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Arrange brioche pieces in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Let them dry out overnight, or place them in a 200-degree oven for an hour or two. (They'll be ready when they feel stale to the touch but haven't taken on any color.)
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees, and butter a shallow, 2-quart casserole or gratin dish. On a pot on the stove or in the microwave, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Put bread in the prepared baking dish and toss with melted butter. Bake until golden and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then transfer toast to a large bowl. (Don't wash the baking dish; you'll use it again for the stuffing.)
  • In a 12-inch skillet, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery, fennel and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until soft and just starting to brown, about 12 minutes. Stir in thyme and sage, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and transfer to bowl with brioche. Gently fold in chestnuts and pepper and let cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups stock, eggs, parsley and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Fold gently into bread mixture, then scrape it all back into prepared baking dish. Drizzle on remaining 1 cup stock until the mixture is moist but not squishy; you may not need all the stock.
  • Cover dish with foil and bake until lightly springy, about 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until golden brown, another 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh chestnuts. If you can't find fresh chestnuts, you can use vacuum-packed or frozen chestnuts.
  • To peel chestnuts, score an X on the flat side of each chestnut and roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the shells split open. Once the chestnuts are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, peel off the shells and skins.
  • To make the brioche stuffing, use day-old brioche bread. This will help the stuffing to hold its shape and prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  • You can add other ingredients to the stuffing, such as chopped apples, celery, carrots, or cranberries.
  • To ensure that the stuffing is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the center of the stuffing. The stuffing is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Conclusion:

Squash, chestnut, and brioche stuffing is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you prefer a classic stuffing or one with a more modern twist, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
