Thanksgiving in Los Angeles: the perfect stuffing bread DOES exist – and it’s… [Recipe Inside]
This Thanksgiving, the perfect stuffing bread DOES exist – and it’s brioche. As in St Pierre Brioche Thanksgiving Stuffing
No Thanksgiving spread is complete without a hearty stuffing. While add-ins are a matter of preference, choosing the right bread is crucial. One underrated choice is eggy, rich brioche – and with St Pierre Bakery, you don’t need to go to France to get it.
Thanks to its butter and egg content, St Pierre’s Brioche Loaf provides the perfect balance of crisp toastiness while remaining soft and creamy inside, while its lightly sweet flavor adds a decadent quality that can still lean savory. Attached below is an approachable recipe for stuffing allowing for all the craveable crunch for the whole family with minimal effort required.
St Pierre Brioche Thanksgiving Stuffing
By @BrandiMilloy
Ingredients
1 loaf St. Pierre Brioche Bread
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
3/4 cup celery, diced
3/4 cup carrots, diced
1 cup mushrooms, diced
2 large eggs
1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme, just the leaves
1 tbsp. fresh sage, chopped
1 small apple (granny smith works well), peeled and diced
Salt and pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut brioche bread into 1” cubes and bake for about 10-15 minutes until toasted.
-
Meanwhile, into a pot over medium high heat add butter until melted. Add onion, celery and carrots and cook until everything starts to soften, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Into a bowl whisk together the eggs, herbs, apples, mushrooms, and salt and pepper. Add your cooked vegetables and mix to combine.
-
Pour mixture on top of toasted bread and stir to combine. Bake stuffing for about 45 minutes. If your stuffing starts to get too brown, cover until finished baking. Enjoy!
As America’s favorite brioche brand, St Pierre’s products are widely available via grocery stores nationwide as well as Walmart.

Elijah Blue Makes his First Public Appearance at Comic Christine Peake’s Birthday Bash after Cher Legal Drama
Elijah Blue Makes his First Public Appearance at Comic Christine Peake’s Birthday Bash after Cher Legal Drama
On Monday night actor Elijah Blue Allman and his wife Marieangela “Queenie” King made their first public appearance since the court announcement, at Comedienne Christine Peake’s birthday show to benefit Breast Cancer Bandit on Sunset Strip’s Hotel Ziggy.
Allman and King were in good spirits relaxing with some of the performing comedians and DJ Paul Oakenfold.
Actor Elijah Blue Allman can finally relax after a long and traumatic battle with one of the world’s most iconic performers. Who? His own mother, Cher.
After years of public drug abuse and mental health issues, Cher was trying to have a court-ordered conservatorship over her son with Legendary Rocker Greg Allmann, Elijah Blue Allman.
The Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer and actor argued to the court in a petition that 47-year-old Elijah Blue Allman’s large payments from the trust of his late father, rocker Gregg Allman, are putting him in danger because of his struggles with mental health and substance abuse.
If granted, Cher would have legal access to millions of dollars from the trust of his late father, reminiscent of what Britney Spears went through with her family and what ultimately caused the #FreeBritney movement.
Rumors flew about where Cher was sending Elijah Blue to ”rest and recover”. Has he disappeared? Is he really in a Mexican rehab center ”prison”?
Allman was in the courtroom with his attorneys, who acknowledged his previous struggles but argued he is in a good place now, attending meetings, getting treatment and reconciling with his previously estranged wife.
Finally, just last month a conclusion was announced.
Cher was denied temporary conservatorship over 47-year-old son Elijah Blue Allman in a court of law.
“We are thrilled that the court saw that he does not need a temporary conservatorship,” Allman’s lawyer said as he stood alongside him outside the courthouse. “He’s got a lot of support, he’s doing great.”
Allman first filed for divorce from King, 36, in 2021 after taking their marital vows in December 2013. They’ve since reconciled amid legal drama with Cher.
Monday night at Hotel Ziggy for Christine Peake’s birthday show was the fun and relaxing date night they both needed after years of legal drama.
