Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups, crumbled Cornbread
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large, diced Yellow onion
- 3 stalks, diced Celery
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 3 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 large, beaten Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 for greasing Olive oil or nonstick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray and set aside.
If your cornbread is freshly baked, allow it to cool completely before crumbling it into bite-sized pieces and spreading it out on a baking sheet. Let it sit out to become slightly stale for better texture.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the crumbled cornbread, chopped sage, thyme leaves, and parsley to the bowl. Gently toss everything to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually pour the broth mixture over the cornbread mixture, gently folding until the ingredients are evenly moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to preserve some texture in the cornbread.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
