Steps:
- Cut 1/2 inch from the stem end of each tomato and with a melon-ball cutter scoop out and discard the seeds and pulp, leaving a 1/2-inch shell.

- In a skillet melt the butter over moderately high heat and in it sauté the bread cubes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden. Toss the croutons with the corn mixture, spoon the mixture into the tomatoes, and arrange the basil sprigs decoratively on the tomatoes.
