Cornbread Dressing
Lightly sweetened cornbread makes for a delicious version of the Thanksgiving classic. You can keep this entirely vegetarian or feel free to add some sautéed crumbled sausage.
Servings: 10
Calories: 391kcal
Ingredients
- 1 batch keto cornbread roughly crumbled
- 1/4 loaf keto bread sliced and toasted, roughly crumbled
- 1 onion diced
- 1 leek white and light green parts sliced thin (be sure to wash these well as they tend to collect sand and dirt)
- 3 celery ribs chopped
- 1/2 cup butter or butter flavored coconut oil for dairy-free, divided
- 1/2 tablespoon dried sage or 1 tablespoon fresh, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 tablespoons parsley fresh, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or 1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar
- 2 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock, plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 eggs beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a glass baking dish, set aside.
- Add 1/4 cup butter to a pan and heat over medium high heat. Sauté the onions, leeks, and celery in the butter until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan (or use 1/4 cup stock and the vinegar). Reduce until there is very little liquid. Remove pan from heat and add another 1 cup stock.
- Whisk the eggs well in a large bowl and then whisk in cream. Pour the veggie and stock mixture into the bowl and stir to combine with the eggs and cream. Add the dried breads and add chicken stock until the mixture is well moistened and let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until liquid is absorbed. Add sage, parsley and thyme. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and more herbs, if desired.
- Pour into a greased baking dish, dot with the remaining 1/4 cup butter all over the top, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and broil for a couple of minutes to crisp top.
