How to Make Sweet Green Tomato Corn Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of chopped green tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, or until tomatoes begin to soften and lightly brown.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups cornmeal mix, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1/2 cup sugar.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the sautéed green tomatoes.
  8. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.
  9. Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full with batter.
  10. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. While the muffins bake, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil.
  12. Serve warm muffins with a dollop of basil butter. Enjoy!
