For a deeper flavor, use homemade cornbread that is slightly sweet. Day-old bread works best as it absorbs the flavors without becoming mushy. You can also lightly toast the bread cubes before adding them to the mixture. Adjust seasoning to your preference. Taste the mixture before broiling and add more sage, salt, or pepper as needed. For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with plant-based sausage or additional mushrooms and vegetables.
