Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a large baking sheet. In a large skillet, brown the sausage until just cooked through, breaking it up into pieces as it cooks. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
2. In the same pan, add the butter and cook the onion and celery until just translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the sage and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
3. Pour the onion mixture over the sausage, add bread cubes and stir. Stir in the beaten eggs, then add the stock to moisten. Form into 2-inch balls and set on the baking sheet.
4. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
