Sausage Brioche Dressing Recipes

BRIOCHE-PEAR STUFFING WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Chop the brioche bread into 1/2-inch cubes to make 16 cups. Stale bread works best for stuffing-if yours is fresh, spread out the cubes on baking sheet and dry in a 300 degrees F oven, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth; bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs and parsley in a large bowl; stir in the bread cubes, the vegetable-broth mixture, the prepared pears, sausage and almonds.
• Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-to-4-quart baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F, 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, about 20 more minutes.

SAUSAGE BRIOCHE DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread the brioche on a baking sheet and put it in the oven until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Set aside in a large bowl.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sausage and break it into pieces with a spoon. Cook until browned, then transfer it to the bowl with the brioche. Add the celery to the sausage drippings and cook until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Put the sausage into the brioche bowl. Stir in the stock and sage and mix until the brioche absorbs most of the liquid. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the dressing to a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and cook, uncovered for 20 minutes. Cover with foil and bake until golden brown on top, another 20 to 25 minutes.

SAUCISSON EN BRIOCHE (SAUSAGE IN BRIOCHE)

Steps:

• Combine sugar and warm milk in small dish and slowly stir in yeast. Mash yeast well if it forms lumps. Set mixture aside in warm place for 5 minutes; it should foam.
• In food processor or mixer combine flour, salt and butter, blending well. Add eggs, 2 at a time, incorporating well before adding next 2. Add yoke and process until dough is elastic and smooth; it should pull away from beater in one piece. Some processors will not have enough power to finish job; if so remove and knead by hand on lightly floured surface.
• Place dough in greased bowl, cover with damp cloth and let rise in warm place (80 to 90 degrees) for 2 hours or until it doubles in bulk. Punch down and knead for several minutes in bowl and form ball about size of softball.
• If dough is difficult to work with, place in freezer for 5 minutes. (If you are not using right away, dough can be stored, covered, in refrigerator for day.)
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut dough ball in half and roll out each half into roughly 10-by-5-inch rectangles. Coat both dough ball and sausage with beaten egg, then sprinkle flour over dough to form ''glue'' that will hold sausage in place.
• Lay sausages on dough rectangles and bring up sides of dough to seal them, forming seams on top. Seal edges. Place rolls on buttered sheets of aluminum foil. Wrap foil around rolls same way dough was sealed, forming seam on top. They should be wrapped loosely to allow for expansion.
• Place rolls on baking sheet, seam side down, and let them rise for 1/2 hour. Bake 35 minutes, rotating about every 12 minutes so sausage doesn't sink to one side. After 35 minutes, open foil, wash rolls with beaten egg mixture again and cook 10 minutes more. Let them cool before slicing and serving.

CRANBERRY, SAUSAGE AND BRIOCHE STUFFING

Steps:

• Slice brioche or hallah into half-inch cubes. In large bowl, mix the cubes with diced apples and dried cranberries.
• In medium-size skillet over medium heat, saute sausage until cooked through, breaking with a fork as it cooks. Add sausage and fat to bread mix, along with minced sage leaves. (If cooking in advance, cover and refrigerate overnight.)
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Moisten brioche and sausage mixture with chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to greased 9-inch-by-12-inch shallow casserole. Cover with foil and bake on middle level of oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and cook for another 15 minutes, until stuffing puffs up and begins to brown.

BEST SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Combine melted margarine with the sausage drippings until there is 1 cup of drippings and margarine combined.
• Cook and stir onion and celery in the margarine-dripping mixture in the same skillet over medium heat until onion is tender but not browned, about 10 minutes . Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Pour onion mixture into a large bowl and stir in remaining bread cubes, sausage, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well. This stuffing is ready for baking.
