The richness of melting fontina cheese and sharp white cheddar sets this bread stuffing apart from traditional holiday turkey side dishes and makes it special. Besides the cheese, the flavor of the bread stuffing is enhanced by aromatic wild mushrooms (preferably a selection). To ensure the stuffing looks appetizing after baking, use stale or slightly dried bread cubes, which will retain their shape and hold together. Before serving, let the stuffing sit for a few minutes to allow it to set slightly.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes.
- Move the mushrooms to one side of the pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the white part of the green onion, shallot, thyme, 1 tablespoon of salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour in the brandy. Return to the heat and cook until the pan is dry, about 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Add the bread cubes, mushroom mixture, 1 tablespoon each of fontina and cheddar cheese, green onions, and parsley. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
- Grease a 3-quart baking dish. Add the filling and sprinkle with the remaining fontina and cheddar. Bake until golden brown, about 1 hour.
- Let stand for 20 minutes before serving.
Note
Stale bread works best for the filling. If you only have fresh bread, cut it into cubes, place it on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven at 160°C for about 20 minutes.
