10 STEPS
1
Cube the cornbread and Italian bread and let them dry overnight, or alternatively, place onto a baking sheet and dry in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick olive oil spray.
3
In a large saute pan, melt the butter, then add the diced onion and celery, sauteing for about 5 minutes until softened.
4
Add the minced garlic to the sauteed vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
5
In a large bowl, combine cornbread, Italian bread cubes, sauteed vegetables, chicken stock, parsley, poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
6
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more chicken stock.
7
Stir the beaten eggs into the cornbread mixture until well combined.
8
Transfer the cornbread dressing mixture into the prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
