Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups cornbread, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or shiitake)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prep your cornbread by baking it a day ahead to let it dry out.
  2. Sauté the onions and celery in olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and sage; cook for an additional minute.
  5. Combine the crumbled cornbread with the sautéed mixture in a large bowl.
  6. Pour in the broth slowly while mixing; add beaten eggs and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Bake in a greased dish at 350°F for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
  8. Cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a variation, substitute the mushrooms with diced apples or roasted squash. Make sure cornbread is adequately stale for the best results.
