1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake until cubes are toasted, about 30 minutes.
3. In large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 15 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove bacon to paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. In same skillet over medium heat, melt butter in reserved drippings. Add apples and celery. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in scallions, parsley, marjoram, sage, salt, and pepper.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and broth. In large bowl combine corn bread cubes, bacon and apple mixture. Stir in egg-broth mixture until just combined.
