Increase oven temperature to 350 F degrees. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sausage and break with a wooden spoon or potato masher, into fine pieces. Cook until sausage is no longer pink. Add onion, celery, garlic, and sage ; cook for about 10 minutes, until vegetables have softened. Remove from heat. In a bowl whisk eggs, parsley, garlic and broth. Season egg mixture with salt and pepper. Add the sausage mixture to the eggs and gently fold in the bread cubes until evenly mixed. Transfer stuffing to prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown and the top is crispy, for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Garnish with parsley and serve. |
