    Salty bacon and feta, sweet pears and crusty French bread create a stuffing to simply swoon over!

    Ingredients

    • 1 loaf French bread from bakery, cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 4 Tbsp butter
    • 3 stalks celery, chopped
    • 1 small onion, chopped
    • 2 Anjou pears, peeled, cored and chopped
    • 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
    • 4 oz feta, crumbled
    • 1/2 tsp thyme
    • 1/2 tsp ground sage
    • 1/3 cup chopped, fresh parsley
    • 2 cups chicken broth
    • Cooking spray
    • S & P, to taste

    Directions

    1. *Note: This amount of chicken broth allowed for a very crispy top. If you prefer your stuffing softer, use enough chicken broth to just cover the top.
    2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet, ensuring that they do not overlap. Bake for 7 minutes until dried out. Place in a large bowl and set aside.
    3. Turn the oven temperature up to 350.
    4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. When melted, add onion and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 3 – 5 minutes. Add in celery and let vegetables sweat an additional 2 minutes. Add in pears and continue to cook down for 1 more minute.
    5. Stir thyme, sage and parsley into the mix. Season the mixture as you would like with salt and pepper.
    6. Remove from heat and add mixture to bread in large bowl. Toss to coat evenly.
    7. Add in bacon and feta, continuing to toss for even distribution.
    8. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Add bread mixture and pour 2 cups of chicken broth over entire mixture.
    9. Bake for 30 minutes.
