- 4 oz. Pancetta
- 1/2 c. leeks chopped
- 2 eggs whisked
- 2.5 c. chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 c. green onions chopped

- 1 Tbsp. fresh sage or 1 tsp dried
- 2 tsp. garlic minced
- 12 oz. sage and onion stuffing mix
Preheat your oven to 375°.
In a non-stick saute pan, add the pancetta and leeks. Saute for 5-6 minutes, or until the pancetta is browned and the leeks are translucent.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with chicken broth, butter and salt. Add the leeks and pancetta (don't forget to include the pancetta fat as well) along with the remaining ingredients and toss until well coated.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 sprayed pan and cover with foil. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes.
