Ingredients

2 pound cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounce pancetta, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
3 -4 leaves fresh sage, chifonnade
3 eggs
1-3 cup chicken broth (depending on dryness of the bread)
12 tablespoon butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350-400 degrees.
Place the cornbread in the oven until slightly toasted. Allow to cool. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the pancetta until slightly browned, but not crispy; remove and drain. Transfer to a bowl.
Add the onion, celery, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Add all dry ingredients to the bowl with the pancetta and toss. Whisk in the eggs and mix carefully; do not allow the cornbread to break apart. Add just enough broth to moisten and place in well-buttered muffin tins. Dollop each muffin with 1 tablespoon of butter.
