How To Make Easy Tomato Pie — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn

When I was growing up, I was convinced I hated mayo (and sour cream, and cream cheese, and cottage cheese, for that matter). I scrunched my nose up at my mom when she mixed it into her tuna salad, and scooched my seat away from my dad if he ordered the creamy coleslaw side at a restaurant. My friends that electively opted to add mayo to their Subway sandwiches? I was utterly repulsed.

So you can imagine my surprise when I discovered that the secret to my mom’s famous tomato pie — a staple in our household every summer — was a generous dollop of good old-fashioned mayonnaise. It was quite a dilemma: admit that okay, maybe I’d never really given the condiment a chance and had unfairly ruled it out of my diet, or stick to my story and give up the pie? The pie won (as it often does), and acted as my gateway to mayo, which now has a permanent place in my fridge.

With some assistance from two types of cheeses, lots of salt and pepper, and a spoonful of Dijon, mayo transforms into a decadent tomato pie topper that serves as the salty, savory counterpart to stewy, sweet summer tomatoes. Consider that this is all set inside a buttery, flaky pie crust, and I don’t think I have to tell you this is a must-make before summer ends.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
