Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 8-10 cups dried bread cubes
  • 1 9- inch pan cornbread from a mix or your favorite recipe
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 shallot chopped
  • 3-4 ribs celery chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 teaspoon dry rosemary leaves
  • 2 teaspoons ground sage
  • 2-3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crumble cornbread into a large bowl with dried bread; set aside.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion, shallot, garlic, celery, thyme, rosemary and sage and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Pour butter and vegetables over bread mixture and stir gently.
  • Stir in 2 cups of broth and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings before stirring in beaten eggs. Add additional broth as desired for moistness. Stir in parsley.
