Ingredients
- 4 cups cornbread, crumbled into 1-inch pieces (store-bought or leftover)

- 1.5 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp butter
- 8 leaves fresh sage (or 1 tsp dried sage)

Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, then add diced celery and onion.
- 2
Sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 3
Add the crumbled cornbread and fresh sage leaves, tossing to coat evenly.
- 4
Pour in broth slowly while tossing gently so cornbread absorbs liquid but stays chunky.

Cook for 2–3 minutes until broth is mostly absorbed and edges look golden and crispy.
- 6
Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Serve hot.
