Ingredients

Scale

Cornbread:

  • 6 cups cubed cornbread (store-bought or homemade)

Vegetable Mixture:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Other Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cubed cornbread on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes until slightly dried out. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery, cook until softened. Add garlic, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, cook until fragrant. Pour over the toasted cornbread.
  3. Combine Broth and Egg: Whisk together broth and beaten egg in a bowl, then pour over the cornbread mixture. Gently toss until moistened.
  4. Bake: Transfer the stuffing to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and crisp on top.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can add cooked crumbled sausage or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, add more broth to the stuffing mixture.
