These brown butter sage cornbread stuffing muffins are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with savory flavors, perfect for holiday feasts or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups crumbled cornbread
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup finely diced celery
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully as the butter foams and turns golden brown, releasing a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh sage and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cornbread into small pieces. Add the sautéed vegetables, browned butter, beaten eggs, and chicken or vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Using a spatula, fold the mixture gently until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet—add a little more broth if needed.
  6. Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top and gently pressing to compact.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

Use slightly dry cornbread for the best texture. If the mixture feels too dry, add more broth; if too wet, add more crumbled cornbread. Cover the muffin tin with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if the tops brown too quickly.
