Ingredients

  • 4 cups cornbread, crumbled into 1-inch pieces (store-bought or leftover)
  • 1.5 cups celery, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1.5 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 8 leaves fresh sage (or 1 tsp dried sage)
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, then add diced celery and onion.

  2. 2

    Sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add the crumbled cornbread and fresh sage leaves, tossing to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Pour in broth slowly while tossing gently so cornbread absorbs liquid but stays chunky.

  5. 5

    Cook for 2–3 minutes until broth is mostly absorbed and edges look golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Serve hot.

Tools you’ll need
