Print Recipe

This brown butter sage cornbread stuffing is a flavorful and comforting side dish perfect for Thanksgiving, featuring nutty brown butter, aromatic sage, and a crumbly cornbread base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Day-old cornbread, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • Fresh sage leaves
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: diced apples, dried cranberries, toasted pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cornbread by baking it a day in advance and letting it dry out overnight. Crumble into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Add sage leaves and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté celery and onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, sautéed vegetables, and brown butter mixture.
  5. Whisk together chicken broth, eggs, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
  6. Pour egg and broth mixture over the cornbread mixture and stir gently to combine. Adjust moisture level by adding more broth, 1/4 cup at a time, if needed.
  7. Transfer stuffing to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let the stuffing cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use day-old cornbread for better texture.’, ‘Adjust moisture levels by adding more broth for a wetter stuffing or baking uncovered for a drier stuffing.’, ‘Prep and assemble the stuffing a day in advance and bake fresh on the day of serving.’, ‘Double the recipe for larger gatherings.’]
