Bake corn bread pieces at 375° for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To prepare stuffing, combine 3 tablespoons sugar and the next 4 ingredients (through egg white); set aside.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, poblano, bell pepper, and garlic; sauté 7 minutes or until tender. Add cumin and corn; cook for 5 minutes. Combine corn bread pieces, egg mixture, poblano mixture, cheese, broth, and cilantro in a large bowl; toss well. Spoon into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; cover with foil.
