Stuffing (or dressing) is considered one of my favorite components of a Thanksgiving meal and this recipe is impressed by combining the flavours of stuffing in bread pudding type! Stuffing and bread pudding are very related, utilizing day-old bread and different substances, with the primary distinction being that bread pudding makes use of a custard (a combination of eggs and cream) to make every part set in a extra stable or cake-like style. This recipe (optionally) begins with Italian sausage earlier than persevering with on with the flavours of stuffing together with: butter, onions, celery, garlic, sage, rosemary, and thyme. The custard is made with eggs, cream, milk and cheese. The sausage, veggies and herbs are blended with the bread and the custard earlier than inserting in a baking dish, topping with extra cheese and baking. The aromas of this stuffing bread pudding are merely wonderful and it makes for a wonderful different to stuffing in your subsequent vacation dinner! Lower off a slice, set it subsequent to the roast turkey and smother it with gravy! Yum!
