2 tablespoons butter
4 cups fresh corn kernels (from 5-6 ears)

1 can diced green chilies
3 large eggs
1 pint half and half
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme

Remove crusts from baked loaf, cut into 3/4-inch cubes and set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add corn and onion and cook, stirring often, for about four minutes. Remove from heat and add green chilies. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in the corn, onion mixture.
