- 10 cups 1/2-inch cubes Cornbread for Dressing
- 4 cups 1/2-inch cubes crustless firm white sandwich bread (from 6 to 7 slices)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 cups thinly sliced leeks (white and pale green parts only; about 3)
- 2 cups chopped celery
- 1 1/4 cups finely chopped smoked ham (about 7 ounces)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 4 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large eggs, beaten to blend
- 2 cups low-salt chicken broth
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter twelve 1/3-cup nonstick muffin cups. Divide cornbread cubes and white bread cubes between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Dry slightly in oven, about 5 minutes. Cool. Transfer to large bowl.
- Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and celery; cook until soft, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Add ham; stir 1 minute. Add all herbs, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper; stir to blend. Add vegetable mixture to bread; toss. Add eggs and broth; toss. Let stand 5 minutes; toss again. Spoon about 1/2 cup stuffing mixture into each muffin cup. Press to compact. Mound about 1/2 cup remaining stuffing mixture over stuffing in each muffin cup, pressing to hold shape.
- Bake muffins until golden, about 22 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Using small plastic knife, loosen muffins. Transfer to rack; cool.
- DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, cover, and chill. Rewarm uncovered in microwave in 30-second intervals, or covered loosely with foil in 350°F oven, about 15 minutes.
