Celebrating Pi Day
with
Kimchi Bacon Cheddar Quiche
In celebration of Pi Day, I’m sharing one interesting and tasty pie! My Kimchi Bacon Cheddar Quiche with a Quinoa Crust!
Napa cabbage kimchi and sharp cheddar cheese is one of my favorite combinations – kimchi’s zingy fermented flavors and rich full-bodied cheddar, together create an amazing food synergy.
Besides being gluten-free and high in protein and fiber, the quinoa crust has a delightful crunchy-chewy texture, counterbalancing the creamy cheesy custardy filling. In addition to kimchi and cheddar, I add bacon and scallions too. So there is no shortage of flavor in this savory pie!
Larry Shaw worked at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and he is credited with founding Pi Day in 1988. Shaw and his colleagues at the Exploratorium celebrated the mathematical constant π (pi) on March 14th (3/14) because the date matches the first three digits of π (3.14).
But why pie? 🥧
The connection is a pun—the word “pie” is pronounced the same as “pi,” making it the perfect food for a math celebration.
Plus, a pie is round, just like the circle that pi helps define. Pi represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, so eating pie on Pi Day is a fun, edible homage to this mathematical constant.
Although Pi is Irrational,
It’s Not Irrational to Eat Pie on Pi Day!
