Simple Corn Stuffed Tomatoes Recipe #317244
Something I threw together when I was given some fresh tomatoes out of a neighbor's garden. Delicious!
If you bake this, put the tomatoes over a muffin pan so they can drain into the muffin cups, or they'll be very watery. We prefer the corn hot but the tomato crisp and raw.
This recipe can be easily made vegan by subbing margarine for butter or leaving it out altogether, and skipping the cheese.

- In a bowl, place the corn, butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Salt & pepper to taste.
- Place bowl in microwave for about two minutes, until corn is hot and butter is melted. Stir well.
- Turn tomato boats right side up, and fill with corn mixture. Top with basil and, if desired, a bit of shredded Mozzarella cheese.
