June 28 is Double Pi(e) Day!
2π = 2(3.14) = 6.28 :)
I don't know if these can be technically considered as pies but they have a crust, they have a filling; they can pass as pies to me. Here they are:
Mango Gâteau Basque. I put a twist on the French classic by using our local mangoes that are in season right now. I used not so ripe mangoes to offer a tart balance to the rich custard like what cherries do in the original. The contrast between the crumbly crust and the creamy filling with the fragrant mango punch is just delightful!
Ham and Potato Phyllo Pie. I need to use the excess phyllo that I had when I made baklava a few days ago so I came up with this pie inspired by a breakfast frittata. Ham, potatoes, caramelized onions, lots of freshly cracked black pepper, and eggs encased in crunchy, shattering, buttery phyllo. A nice complete meal that can be eaten on the go.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Happy baking and Happy Double Pie Day!

Both look tasty! Nice scoring/decorating on the mango one. And the ham and potato one would be a good option for breakfast or dinner. Meanwhile, with double pie day in mind, I may need to reconsider our meal planning options for today.
The family really enjoyed them. Have you made some pie?
They look wonderful and very inviting Pal. Happy Double Pie Day to you too.

Thank you as always Benny!
Great looking pies!
I love gateau Basque. Today I made a chocolate flan, for me it was (pi / 2) * 2 day! ;)
Flan sounds really nice. I might need to make a classic Gâteau Basque soon. Thanks!
