8 cups 1/2-inch cubes ciabatta bread (from 1-lb loaf)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup diced shallots
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 lb cremini mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1 package (5.2 oz) peeled and roasted chestnuts, coarsely chopped (1 cup)

2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Heat oven to 325 °F. Place cubed bread on ungreased cookie sheet; bake 10 to 15 minutes or until dry and crispy. Cool completely on cookie sheet.
Meanwhile, in 4-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Cook shallots, celery, salt and pepper in butter 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Increase heat to medium-high; add mushrooms, and cook 6 to 8 minutes longer or until mushrooms release juices and begin to brown. Stir in chestnuts and stock; heat to simmering. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, using spoon to release browned bits from bottom. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes.
