  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, sautéed vegetables, chicken broth, beaten eggs, dried sage, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Notes

For best results, use day-old cornbread to avoid a mushy texture. Fresh cornbread can be toasted before crumbling for a drier consistency.
