Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, then add diced celery and onion.

  2. Step 2

    Sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Add the crumbled cornbread and fresh sage leaves, tossing to coat evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in broth slowly while tossing gently so cornbread absorbs liquid but stays chunky.

  5. Step 5

    Cook for 2–3 minutes until broth is mostly absorbed and edges look golden and crispy.

  6. Step 6

    Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Serve hot.
