1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the pumpkin and sunflower seeds on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, cardamom, thyme, parsley, and bay leaves to the butter and cook until the vegetables are tender; remove the bay leaves.
3

In a large bowl, toss together the toasted seeds, bread, cereal, cranberries, and the vegetable mixture; season with salt and pepper. Add the eggs and mix. Gradually add the vegetable stock until the mixture is moist but not mushy. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased casserole dish.
