Ingredients

2 cups chestnuts
1.5 cups margarine
0.5 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon pepper
2 (1 pound) loaves day-old bread, cubed
3 large eggs
0.25 cup milk

Instructions

Using a sharp knife, cut slits into each chestnut. Place chestnuts in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender, approximately 25 minutes. Drain, peel, and coarsely chop the cooked chestnuts.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chestnuts, onion, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook until the onion is softened, around 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and combine with cubed bread.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and chestnut mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the surface is crisp, about 30 to 45 minutes.
