Instructions:

1. In a skillet on medium low heat, add olive oil and sliced onions.

2. Allow for the onions to cook for 30-45 minutes until they soften and turn light brown in color. You don’t want to fry the onions so it’s important to keep the heat low and let them cook slowly.

3. Add salt and vinegar to deglaze the pan. Remove from the heat and let the onions cool.

4. In a separate skillet on medium high heat, add butter along with diced onion and celery. Saute the veggies for 1-2 minutes, then add sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let the veggies continue to cook until they have completely softened, then remove from the heat.

5. In a large mixing bowl, break up your croissants in small pieces. I prefer to rip them up instead of cutting with a knife because this will give you crispier edges on the croissants once the stuffing has baked.

6. Add the caramelized onions and sauteed veggies to the bowl, then add the chicken broth.

7. Mix everything together gently, so as not to break up the croissants too much. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper per your preference.

8. Add the mixture to a buttered baking dish and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown in color.
