1 large egg
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Stuffing:

This stuffing is a great way to use up leftover cornbread. It's also a great way to add some extra flavor and texture to your Thanksgiving dinner.

I've made this stuffing for the past three Thanksgivings and it's always been a huge success. It's the perfect combination of savory and sweet, and the chorizo adds a really nice depth of flavor.

This stuffing is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

This stuffing was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy chorizo. Next time I'll use a milder chorizo or reduce the amount of chorizo I use.

I'm not a big fan of chorizo, but I really enjoyed this stuffing. The cornbread and the other ingredients really balanced out the flavor of the chorizo.

This stuffing was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would have added more broth or milk. Otherwise, the flavor was good.
