In a heavy skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add onions and mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms release liquid and onions soften.
Crumble cornbread and place in large bowl. Tear toast into bite-sized pieces; add to cornbread.
Add mushrooms and onions, granulated garlic, pepper, egg and white wine. Mix thoroughly; add enough broth to moisten.
