20 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried blueberries
• 1/2 cup blueberry schnapps liqueur
• 6 tablespoons butter, divided
• 5 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
• 1 loaf (14-1/2 ounces) sourdough bread, torn into 1/2-in. pieces
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or canola oil
• 3 celery ribs, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
• 2 pounds bulk pork sausage
• 1 package (7 ounces) blueberry white cheddar cheese or sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• Optional: Fresh blueberries and fresh sage

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a small bowl, combine blueberries and schnapps; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons butter and 3 teaspoons garlic until butter melts and mixture is fragrant, 2-3 minutes. In a large bowl, combine bread and the butter mixture; toss to coat. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Decrease oven temperature to 350°.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil and remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add celery, onion and carrot; cook until carrot is tender, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add remaining 2 teaspoons garlic; cook 1 minute. Add sausage; cook until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles.
4. In a large bowl, combine bread, sausage mixture, cheese, rosemary, sage and pepper. Drain blueberry mixture, reserving schnapps. Add blueberries to bread mixture. In a bowl, stir together broth, beaten eggs and reserved blueberry schnapps. Pour over bread mixture; toss to combine.
5. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased 4-qt. baking dish. Bake until top is golden brown and crispy, 45-50 minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh blueberries and sage.
