1. Chop figs and chestnuts. In a large bowl, combine the bread, chestnuts, and figs; set aside.
2. Finely chop onion and celery. In a large skillet, heat the oil, onion, and celery over medium-high heat and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broth and thyme, heat to a boil, and remove from heat. (The recipe can be made to this point up to 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate the stock and bread separately.)
3. Add the stock to the bread mixture, along with the lightly-beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Place in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake 1 hour at 375°F.
