Corn and Chipotle Bread Pudding
6 servings
2 t olive oil
1/2 C finely chopped red bell pepper
1/2 C finely chopped onion
2 C frozen corn kernels
1/2 C thinly sliced green onions
1 jalapeño pepper, minced - remove the seeds for those who don't care for heat
1 garlic clove, minced
1 t salt, divided
1 t ground cumin, divided
1 1/2 C 2% low-fat milk
2 eggs
1 C shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 T finely chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
About 10 cups 1-inch cubed day-old firm white bread
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350°.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion, and sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add corn, green onions, jalapeño, and garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, milk, eggs, 1/2 cup cheese, and chipotle chiles in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Stir in corn mixture. Add bread; stir gently to combine. Let stand 10 minutes. Spoon into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray – or – six individual ramekins. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
**These can be made ahead, covered, and refrigerated until time to bake. I'd bring to room temperature before baking.
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until pudding is set and lightly browned.

3 Italian sausage links

2 T finely chopped fresh sage
1 t thyme

Remove casings from sausage. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add sausage and sauté 5 minutes until browned, stirring to crumble. Add onion, celery, apples, and cranberries and sauté 3 minutes. Stir in parsley and next 5 ingredients (parsley through pepper).

Uncover; bake an additional 20 minutes or until golden brown.
