Spinach, Bacon and Cashew Stuffing Spinach, Bacon and Cashew Stuffing

Author: Canadian Living

This stuffing bakes by itself after the turkey comes out of the oven. Serve in squares as a side dish like a savoury bread pudding. It's best to use day-old bread.

Ingredients

Method

In skillet, fry bacon over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Drain fat from pan.

In same pan, melt butter over medium heat; fry onion, sage, salt and pepper, stirring often, until very soft and just beginning to brown, about 6 minutes.

Add spinach, in batches and stirring until wilted. Scrape into large bowl. Add bread and cashews to bowl.

In small bowl, whisk together chicken stock, cream and eggs; pour over bread mixture, tossing to coat. Scrape into 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish, smoothing top. Cover and refrigerate until evenly soaked, at least 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven, covered, for 20 minutes; uncover and bake until crusty and knife inserted into centre comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cut into squares.
