• 1 cup corn
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic, minced or garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, chopped or 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
• salt & pepper

1. 1

   Cut tomatoes in half, then scoop out seeds so you are left with tomato "boats" -- don't scrape the meat off the sides.

2. 2

   Salt the insides of the tomato boats, then set cut side down to drain on a plate or paper towels.

3. 3

   In a bowl, place the corn, butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Salt & pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Place bowl in microwave for about two minutes, until corn is hot and butter is melted. Stir well.

5. 5

   Turn tomato boats right side up, and fill with corn mixture. Top with basil and, if desired, a bit of shredded Mozzarella cheese.

6. 6

   Serve, OR, bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes before serving.
