This is a good basic recipe that can be significantly improved with just a little bit of tweaking. For a better textured stuffing, use dry, seasoned bread cubes instead of fresh bread. Or, you can increase the fresh bread to 6 slices, as suggested, which will give you a bit more stuffing. To add extra savoriness to the dish, I added some small diced onion (that I cooked until softened). and also some dried Sweet basil, which goes so well with the flavor of corn.

This sounded great, but it didn't turn out well. I followed directions to a T, but we just didn't like this recipe!

Wow! This was a big hit with my family. I wound up using about six slices of bread, though, because four seemed a bit scanty. With all the liquids and the eggs it was a rather pasty mixture, but it baked into a nice texture with plenty of corn flavor. I may trying doing it next time with a mixture of leftover corn muffins and sliced bread.
