    I mean…no…quiche is a custard base with cheese and no top crust. A chicken pot pie uses a roux with no cheese and a top crust.

    The top crust is not really that big a deal, but custard vs roux is significant. Also, cheese.

    The veggie mixture tends to be very different too, but that is pretty flexible for quiche and I’m sure a quiche with similar veggies to a pot pie would be good, but I don’t think it would be a traditional flavor profile.

      I made one yesterday. I tried using 100% butter in the crust instead of 50/50 butter/shortening. It was delicious. Harder to work, i wound up putting it in the fridge for a couple hours so that I could work it before it got too soft, but absolutely delicious. Melt in you mouth top crust, with just the right about of flake.

      I also made the rue thicker than usual, knowing most of it would be lunch later this week. After resting for an hour it had the consistency of a fresh quiche, almost like a custard. Thus my shower (kitchen) thought
