Caprese Corn Muffins

These Caprese Corn Muffins are just as welcome on your breakfast table as they are alongside a salad at lunch or dinner. The tomato-based muffins are infused with Fresh Basil Flavor, and are best served warm so that the mozzarella cheese is gooey and the basil butter melts right in, adding an additional delicious layer of flavor.
