Ingredients

  • 10 inch pan cornbread
  • 5 buttermilk biscuits
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 boiled eggs chopped
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350℉/177℃.
  • Spray a 10-inch x 14-inch x 3-inch casserole with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Cut crust off cornbread.
  • Crumble into a large mixing bowl.
  • Crumble biscuits into bowl with cornbread. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add onion and celery.
  • Sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add to bread mixture.
  • Add boiled eggs. Mix.
  • Stir in stock.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add beaten eggs.
  • Pour into prepared casserole.
  • Bake until browned and puffy, about 90 minutes.

Notes

  • Don't mix everything ahead of time. It sours pretty quickly. If you're gonna prep this ahead of time, keep everything separated until you're ready to bake!
  • Keep an eye on this casserole while it's in the oven. You may need to cover with foil to prevent the top from burning while it bakes.
  • The casserole shouldn't be thick before you bake. It should be juicy.
