Grandma Emma's Fudgy Chocolate Pie
My grandmother's chocolate cream pie was a staple of my childhood. Homemade custard filling with a dense texture. Very rich, not too sweet, and oh-so-satisfying. For convenience, I make this with a store-bought graham cracker crust and top with whipped cream, but she used to make hers with a prebaked pastry crust topped with meringue. Either way, it's delicious. Hope you enjoy!
Chef John's Tomato Tart
This tomato tart has a crispy puff pastry layer topped with sliced sweet summer tomatoes. It tastes amazing! One of these days Michele and I will travel to the south of France, where we'll eat this savory tart at least once a day. It's going to be hot, since we'll have to go in the middle of summer to enjoy best possible tomatoes, but that's fine, as long as there's chilled rosé.
Pizza Dough Pretzels
These pizza dough pretzels are perfect for when you suddenly get a craving for soft pretzels and you're not at the mall — you won't need to wait for the dough to rise if you use store-bought pizza dough! Serve, of course, with mustard.
