In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces. Add diced celery and onion, sauté until tender and sausage is cooked. Stir in butter, garlic, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute. Then, increase heat, add chicken broth, bring to a boil, and simmer on medium-low for 5 minutes.
After cooking the sausage mixture, let it cool for a minute, then stir in the whisked eggs. Reserve ½ cup of cornbread cubes and mix the rest with the sausage in a large bowl. Spread the mixture in a baking dish, top with the reserved cornbread cubes, cover with foil, and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the top is golden brown. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
