Ingredients

1 package Dave's Killer White Bread Done Right Thin-Sliced 21 slices
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves minced
1 yellow onion chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
8 oz. sliced baby bella mushrooms
1/3 cup chicken stock used at different times
2 cups chicken stock used at different times
2 eggs
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 jar whole artichoke hearts (9.9oz jar) drained and chopped
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp. dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. salt
fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

For the Bread Cubes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice the bread into bite-sized chunks, leaving the crust on. Place on a baking sheet. You may need to use two.
Bake for 15 minutes. 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 saute pan over medium heat. Once melted, add garlic, onion, and mushrooms. Cook on medium-high heat stirring often for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the mixture is golden brown.
Add 1/3 cup chicken stock to the mushrooms mixture. Using a wooden spoon, scrape all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the stock and mushroom mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add 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 9×9 or 8×8 casserole dish. Bake, covered with foil, for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on size of pan. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You may need to use additional broth if you use a bread other than Dave's Killer Bread. You want to just barely soak the bread. Not enough broth your stuffing will be dry. Too much broth it will be soggy.
For best results, only use an 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan. Any bigger or smaller your stuffing will be under or overcooked.
