Cornbread-Brown Butter Stuffing image

For many people, Thanksgiving is one big excuse to eat lots of stuffing. This one is particularly easy to make. Prepare cornbread using any recipe you'd like, then let it sit out until it gets a little stale. Crumble it into large pieces and then sauté with aromatics in deeply browned butter. Be sure to really let the butter brown: that's where much of the flavor is. Drizzle any remaining brown butter over the top of the stuffing once you've transferred it to the baking dish - that will make the top nice and crispy.

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
9 cups stale cornbread, crumbled into large chunks
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 large eggs
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or rosemary
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon chile powder
Black pepper, as needed
Turkey or chicken stock (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Cook, undisturbed, until the foam subsides and the butter is a deep brown and smells nutty. Transfer immediately to a heatproof liquid measuring cup or bowl.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornbread, scallions, 3 tablespoons butter, eggs, sage, salt, chili powder and black pepper. If the mixture looks dry, add a little stock or water.
  • Spoon the stuffing into a 1 1/2 quart gratin dish. Drizzle the remaining butter over the stuffing. (At this point you can wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.)
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake until crisp and browned on top, about 30 to 45 minutes.
