Instructions
For the bread cubes
Slice the bread into bite sized chunks leaving the crust on. Place on a baking sheet, you may need to use two, and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Shake the baking sheet and place back in the oven for 10 minutes.
For the stuffing
While the bread bakes add 2 tbsp. of butter to a large pan over medium. Once melted add garlic, onion, celery and mushrooms. Cook on medium high stirring often for approximate 15-20 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.
Add 1/3 cup chicken stock to the mushrooms mixture and scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon.
Add the mixture to a large mixing bowl along with the dried bread cubes, cheese, seasonings and chopped artichoke hearts. Toss to evenly mix.
In a separate bowl whisk together to remaining 2 cups of chicken stock and 2 eggs. Pour on top of the stuffing mixture. Mix together to get everything evenly coated with the broth mixture.
Place the stuffing in a 8x8 baking dish and bake covered with foil for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
