Step 1
Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, then add diced celery and onion.
Step 2
Sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add the crumbled cornbread and fresh sage leaves, tossing to coat evenly.
Step 4
Pour in broth slowly while tossing gently so cornbread absorbs liquid but stays chunky.
Step 5
Cook for 2–3 minutes until broth is mostly absorbed and edges look golden and crispy.
Step 6
Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Serve hot.
