Take-out Tuesday, Holiday Dressing with Focaccia, Cornbread & Sausage
This dressing might put a different twist on your holiday table, with 2 different kinds of bread, flavorful sausage, and herbs
It’s easy to toss together and you can double the recipe for a crowd
We used rosemary focaccia bread from the bakery, and some leftover Sour Cream Cornbread
Sauteed onions and celery
Combine with chicken broth, poultry seasoning and parsley to make a tasty sauce to moisten the bread cubes and sausage
Season the bread with salt and pepper
Then pour the vegetable broth mixture over all
Add beaten eggs and stir gently to combine
Transfer to a greased, or cooking oil sprayed casserole dish
Refrigerate at this point up to 24 hours before baking if desired
Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking until hot and starting to turn golden and crispy on top

I love your combo of cornbread and focaccia in your dressing Jenna! I could happily sit down to a plate of it, no turkey or ham required 🙂
Jenna, I have always wanted to add sausage to my dressing…but the hubby says leave it alone! I will definitely make this for a cold January night! I love focaccia and this sounds so yummy! My family won’t let me change the traditional for Christmas but would welcome this recipe any other time! Happy Tuesday!
Ha ha, I totally understand! You should be flattered they insist on your wonderful recipe! My husband is very unadventurous in the food world, but doesn’t stand a chance around her, as my son and I are always changing things 🙂 Happy week! >
I love the sausage addition and now I’m thinking focaccia sounds really good with Sunday dinner:@)
Hi Jenna, Sounds like a really great recipe for dressing. I always want to try a new one but I always end up making our traditional cornbread recipe that everyone expects.
It’s getting close and I still have a lot to do. Enjoy your holidays, you are always an inspiration!
Thank you Emily! I know, I am feeling the time crunch too, I wish there was one more week as I love the fun and anticipation before Christmas! Happy Holidays to you!! >
Hi Jenna,
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with Full Plate Thursday. I sure appreciate you!
