How to Make Panettone Holiday Dressing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the panettone into 3/4-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
  3. Melt half (1/4 cup) of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until light brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in half (1/2 tablespoon) of the chopped sage. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the sage butter over the panettone cubes; toss gently to coat.
  6. Spread the panettone cubes in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven and transfer the toasted panettone back to the large bowl.
  8. Meanwhile, place the dried fruit in a heatproof bowl. Add boiling water; let stand for 10 minutes to plump.
  9. Drain the dried fruit well.
  10. Increase oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter in the same saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot.
  12. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  13. Stir in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sage and the drained dried fruit.
  14. Add the sauteed vegetables and fruit to the bowl with the toasted panettone cubes.
  15. Gently toss to combine. Add chicken broth, gradually, until the dressing is moist but not soggy. Add more broth if desired.
  16. Stir in the beaten eggs.
  17. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  18. Transfer the dressing to a greased oven-safe casserole dish.
  19. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
