Ingredients
- 6 cups (crumbled) Cornbread
- 2 cups (crumbled) Stale white bread
- 1 cup (divided) Unsalted butter
- 1 large (diced) Onion
- 3 stalks (diced) Celery
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 cups Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cornbread and stale white bread into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of the butter. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped sage, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.
Step 5
Pour the sautéed vegetables and seasonings over the crumbled bread mixture in the bowl. Stir to combine.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour the whisked eggs over the bread mixture.
Step 7
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, 1 cup at a time, while mixing. The mixture should be moist but not overly soupy. Adjust broth quantity as needed.
Step 8
Transfer the dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 9
Dot the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of butter, cut into small pieces, to ensure a golden, buttery crust.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dressing is set.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting, flavorful dish!
