1 small loaf rustic bread (about 6 cups chopped) - I used a whole wheat sourdough - with a nice chewy texture.
1/2 pound lamb mergez sausage, removed from casing
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large leek, cleaned and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch dino kale, stems removed and chopped
1/2 cup white wine
8 large dates, seeds removed, small chop
3/4 cup gruyere, grated
1/3 cup soft goat cheese, crumbled
2 cups milk
4 extra large eggs
1 tablespoon marjoram, minced

1
Cut the bread into 1/2 inch cubes. Leave the crust on for more texture. In a 300 degree oven toast for 10-15 mins to dry it out slightly.
2
In a large skillet cook the mergez over medium heat until brown. Remove sausage. Add the olive oil and leeks and cook until softened, above 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the kale and stir to mix. Pour in the wine, cover the skillet and let cook until kale is tender - about 5 minutes. Remove the cover and let the wine reduce until the mixture is more dry - about 5 minutes. Add the dates, marjoram, and the cooked sausage and season the entire mixture with salt and pepper. Cool.
3
In a large bowl, combine the sausage/date mixture and the cheeses. Pour into a buttered baking dish.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and eggs. Season with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Pour the mixture over the bread.
5
Cook in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes until set and browned on top. IF it browns too quickly, lightly cover with foil.
