Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C and spread the bread cubes on a baking tray.
Toast the bread cubes in the oven for 12 minutes until dry and lightly golden, then tip into a large mixing bowl.
Cook the sausage meat in a frying pan over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
Add the butter, onion and celery to the pan and cook for 6 minutes until softened.
Tip the sausage mixture over the toasted bread, add the thyme, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
Pour over the chicken stock and beaten eggs and mix until the bread is evenly moistened.
Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes until the top is golden and crisp.
