I don't like bread. I said it. It is out there and my friends think it is beyond weird. Bread basket I am not interested in you unless there are warm corn muffins under your napkin veil. I don't remember a time in my life when I liked bread. I use to tell my mom it hurt my teeth to get out of eating it. People often say I wish I didn't like bread. Well my dislike for bread is easily filled with quick breads, muffins, cakes, and brownies. Don't worry I get my share of carbs people. As I get older and more adventurous in the kitchen with an expanding palate I am making some exceptions for my ban on bread. I have found if you cut bread into small cubes, soak it in whole milk and heavy cream, and toss in some fresh sweet corn and asiago cheese then bake it I am a fan. This is a great summer side dish to go along with grilled meats. It is decadent but, if you serve it with a grilled lean protein and vegetables it feels ok to indulge. Oh boy did we indulge!

This looks amazing, I love corn, cheese and bread. Win, win!
I understand not like brussels sprouts, or chocolate, but I refuse to believe someone doesn't like bread!
Oh, yum! I know this would be extra wonderful with fresh sweet corn kernals :)
How funny! When I first started reading my first thought was "I wish I didn't like bread!", lol! I'm sure you must hear that a lot. :)
Love the idea of this bread pudding, the corn is a great addition!
What a great idea to make savory bread pudding! I am the opposite of you, I love bread. And bread pudding is an all time favorite. This is a must try next time I'm grilled something for dinner.
Do you know what- I have made plenty of sweet bread puddings but never savory. This looks amazing with that cheese and corn. So fresh and a perfect way to use one of my favorite veggies (corn). Love it- must try soon. you rock girl
OMG.. I soooooo wish I did not like bread. That would solve half of my problems..now if I could only give up chocolate! This sounds so very interesting. I bet all of the flavors were amazing!!!
I love the sound of this!!
