Easy Southern Cornbread Dressing

Ingredients
 

  • 1 8 x8-inch pan prepared cornbread, about 7 cups, cubed
  • ½ loaf French or sandwich bread about 7 cups, cubed
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 2 ¾ cups chicken or vegetable broth, divided
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cornbread and bread into roughly ½-inch cubes. To stale the bread, leave it uncovered on a baking sheet overnight at room temperature, or toast in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place the bread cubes in a very large bowl and add green onions, parsley, sage, and rosemary.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (if not already). Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5–10 minutes. Pour in 1 cup of the broth and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Add the cooked vegetable mixture to the bread cubes, gently tossing to coat evenly.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, remaining broth, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Pour this mixture over the bread and vegetables. Stir gently to combine. If the bread seems dry, add a little more broth. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
