Southern-Style Cornbread Dressing

Don’t call it stuffing. In the South, Cornbread Dressing is the preferred carby side for a roasted turkey. This recipe brings all the cozy, nostalgic vibes plus a little upgrade. We’re talking golden cornbread, rich chicken stock, and a double helping of Pete & Gerry’s Organic Pasture-Raised Eggs (boiled and beaten) for extra flavor AND extra protein. Simple, hearty, and guaranteed to make your grandma proud.

Instructions 

1. Heat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

7. Add the beaten egg and stir to combine well. 
   
8. Fold in the chopped boiled eggs.
9. Pour into prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
