Heat the oven temperature to 350°F. Spray an ovenproof gratin or casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the crumbled cornbread in a large bowl. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the cooked vegetables to the bread mixture. Pour over the stock and add the eggs and herbs. The mixture should be soupy; if not, add additional stock.
Stir well to combine and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the baking dish. Bake until heated through, puffed, and golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool slightly before serving.
