SKILLET CORN FRITTERS WITH GRILLED TOMATO TOPPERS

1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp baking powder
2 tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
2 tbs thinly sliced basil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Salt and Pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups creamed corn

Heat a grill. In a bowl, combine creamed corn, breadcrumbs, onion, eggs, baking powder, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Position a skillet over the grate. Add 1 1/2 tbs oil and heat until hot. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of the batter onto the skillet. Cover and cook, turning once and pressing to flatten, until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Repeat.
(2.) Increase the heat. Brush the tomato slices with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on the grate in a single layer and grill, turning once, until grill marks appear. Transfer the corn fritters to a platter and top with the tomato slices and basil, then serve.
