The Eat Me First fridge rule is gaining traction as a practical antidote to the age-old problem of forgotten leftovers and wilting produce.

The result is a creamy, tangy pie that serves eight and clocks in at 665 calories per serving.It is a technique that will be familiar to Key lime pie devotees (the filling behaves in much the same way) but the magic lemon pie recipe leans into a double-bake method that sets it apart from simpler versions. That two-stage…
