Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Sauté the Aromatics: Melt the butter and margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery; cook for 8–10 minutes until soft, then let cool for 10 minutes.
-
Prep the Base: In a large bowl, combine cooled vegetables, cornbread, and bread cubes. In a separate bowl, whisk warm broth, beaten eggs, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and pepper.
-
Combine: Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and stir gently with a silicone spatula until moistened. The mixture should be very wet and thick; add up to ½ cup extra broth if dry.
-
Bake: Transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish without packing down. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 325°F (165°C) for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10–15 minutes more until golden and the center reaches 165°F.
-
Rest: Let rest for 15 minutes to set the structure before serving.
