Equipment

  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large dinner rolls toasted and torn
  • 2 cups leftover cornbread crumbled
  • 3 medium apples peeled and diced
  • 2 medium pears peeled and diced
  • 4-5 stalks celery chopped with leaves
  • 2 medium sweet onions diced
  • 1.5-2 cups milk
  • 0.5 cup raisins
  • 0.5 cup walnuts chopped
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano crushed
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese plus more for grating on top
  • 4 tbs butter plus more for patting on top
  • 3 tbs olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
  • Place the rolls and cornbread on a baking sheet and bake until the rolls are toasty and golden; about 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool and tear apart.
  • Heat a large cast iron frying pan with the butter and olive oil.
  • Add the chopped onion and celery and saute until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the diced apples, pears, raisins, and walnuts.
  • Add the torn bread and toss.
  • Add the milk a little at a time to moisten the bread and incorporate together.
  • Add the salt and pepper and dried oregano grated cheese and toss.
  • If the stuffing is still a bit dry add a little more milk a little at a time while tossing.
  • The stuffing should come together not be dry.
  • Grate more cheese on top of the stuffing, a few butter pats, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes covered with tin foil and another 20 minutes uncovered to give the top a slight crispness.
