  5. Stir in chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking 3-4 minutes to cook out raw herb taste.
  6. Remove from heat and pour in chicken stock and beaten egg. Stir immediately to avoid scrambling.
  7. Pour contents over bread and mix to combine. Press gently to flatten.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the inside is moist but not wet. Allow to set for 5 minutes then serve.
