Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, paprika, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth.
In a separate bowl, stir together queso, cream cheese, and thawed grilled corn until well combined and creamy.
Arrange the brioche slices in the baking dish, overlapping slightly if needed. Spoon the cheesy corn mixture evenly over the bread, gently pressing it so it seeps between the slices.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything, making sure the bread soaks it up. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and set. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped chives or green onion if desired. Serve warm.
