Mushroom and Sage Stuffing

This is the stuffing that makes the whole table lean in: golden bread cubes, deeply browned mushrooms, and a generous pour of mushroom and sage olive oil that doubles down on savory, earthy flavor. Crisp on top, tender within, it's a holiday side worth the oven space.

Chef's Notes

• Slightly stale or dried-out bread soaks up the broth without turning to mush; if your loaf is fresh, toast the cubes in the oven first.
• That last uncovered stretch is what gives you the crisp, golden top, so don't skip pulling the foil.

Make It Yours

• Add cooked, crumbled sausage or a handful of dried cranberries for a heartier, sweeter version.
• For an even richer finish, drizzle the browned top with a little more of the mushroom and sage olive oil just before serving.
