Rich Cornbread Dressing image

This luxurious Thanksgiving dressing is almost a bread pudding, with cornbread, eggs, celery, onion, a pint of oysters and lots of butter and heavy cream. If the oysters prove to be too controversial for your family, simply leave them out.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 1/2 ounces butter (13 tablespoons)
6 cups crumbled cornbread
6 cups torn crusty white bread, such as a baguette
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped celery
1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried sage (optional)
2 teaspoons salt
Black pepper
6 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups turkey or chicken broth
2 dozen shucked small oysters, with their liquid (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees, and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt remaining butter. In a large bowl, combine cornbread, white bread, onion, celery, sage, salt and pepper to taste. Toss until well mixed. Add melted butter, eggs, cream and 1 1/2 cups broth. Toss in oysters, if using. Mix lightly but well; mixture should be very moist.
  • Turn mixture into prepared dish. If mixture seems dry around edges, drizzle on remaining broth. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until firm and browned on top.

I thought this dressing was a little too sweet. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This dressing is a little too dry for my taste. I would add more broth or milk next time.

I loved the flavor of this dressing, but it was a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I would use less cornbread next time.
