Ingredients

Scale

Pastry Base

  • 1 sheet puff pastry or shortcrust pastry (enough to line a quiche or tart pan)

Filling

  • 3 large eggs
  • 200 ml cream or milk
  • 150 g cooked chicken or turkey, diced
  • 1–2 tsp curry powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 50 g dried apricots, finely chopped or 1 tbsp mango chutney
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley), chopped
  • 50 g grated cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pastry Base: Roll out your pastry dough and line a quiche or tart pan, trimming the edges neatly. Prick the base with a fork and blind bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes to create a crisp foundation.
  2. Cook the Filling Ingredients: Sauté chopped onions and garlic in a pan until soft and fragrant. Add diced cooked chicken and curry powder, stirring until the mixture is evenly coated and heated through.
  3. Mix the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and cream or milk until smooth. Fold in finely chopped dried apricots or a spoonful of mango chutney and the fresh herbs.
  4. Assemble the Quiche: Spread the chicken and onion mixture evenly over the partly baked crust. Pour the custard mixture on top and sprinkle with grated cheese if using.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the quiche in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Notes

  • Blind bake the pastry crust to prevent a soggy bottom.
  • Use room temperature eggs and cream to ensure a smooth custard.
  • Do not overfill the crust to avoid spilling during baking.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to retain vibrant color and flavor.
  • Let the quiche rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
