Ingredients

• 8 cups Cornbread
• 2 cups Day-old bread
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 large Onion
• 4 stalks Celery
• 2 tablespoons Fresh sage
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Crumble the cornbread and day-old bread into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 8–10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir the fresh sage, parsley, and dried thyme into the skillet. Cook for 1–2 more minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Pour the sautéed mixture over the crumbled bread in the mixing bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the broth, eggs, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Gradually pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture, stirring gently until evenly moistened. The mixture should be damp but not overly soggy.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 10

Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cornbread sage dressing as a flavorful side dish!
