Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups crumbled cornbread
  • 3 cups cubed white bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Sauté onion and celery until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a big mixing bowl, toss together crumbled cornbread, cubed white bread, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the softened onion and celery into the bowl. Mix well so every crumb is seasoned.
  4. Whisk eggs and chicken broth together, then pour over the bread mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer to a greased 9×13 baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden brown on top.
  6. Allow the dressing to sit for 5 minutes before serving to set up and maximize creaminess.
