Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  2. Mix cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs, then stir in buttermilk and oil.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stir just until mixed. Pour into prepared pan.
  5. Bake cornbread for 20-25 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  6. Crumble cornbread into pieces and spread on baking sheets. Let dry overnight or dry in a 250°F oven for 1 hour.
  7. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft.
  8. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in sage, thyme, and rosemary, cooking for another minute. Remove from heat.

  10. In a large bowl, combine dried cornbread crumbles with the sautéed vegetables, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  11. Pour in 3 cups of broth and fold gently. Let sit for 5 minutes, then add more broth if needed for a moist but not soggy consistency.
  12. Taste and adjust seasonings, then fold in the 3 beaten eggs until combined.
  13. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  14. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
