Ingredients

    2C Corn meal (non-rising)
    1-2C Water

    5C Chicken stock
    3 Eggs, scrambled (not cooked!)
    1-2 Scallions, chopped OR
    1/2 Onion, chopped finely
    1T Salt
    1t Pepper





Directions

Mix sufficient water to make a slurry with the corn meal.
Pour into large shallow baking dish.
Bake 350 degrees until golden brown-this will not rise, it will be a very thin, very hard flatbread.

Let bread cool, then break up into small pieces into a large bowl.
Cover corn meal with chicken stock and allow to soak up stock overnight. It will expand as it soaks up the stock.
THE NEXT DAY--2 1/2 HOURS BEFORE SERVING:
Mash cornbread well with potato masher.
Leave no lumps!
Scramble eggs well with fork and pour into cornbread mixture. Mix well.
Add scallions (makes a prettier finished dish) or onions.
Add salt and pepper to taste ... it DOES need salt as it will be bland otherwise.
Mix well.
Bake in 325-350 degree oven until a knife inserted comes out clean and top is golden brown.
Allow to sit for at least 5-10 minutes before cutting.
Serve with cranberry sauce/relish. Yum!
