Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure it’s ready when the quiche is assembled and ready for baking.

- Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the mushrooms, carrots, and celery.
- Cook until they begin to soften, infusing the kitchen with their delightful aroma.
Step 2: Assembling the Quiche
- Prepare the Pastry:
- Line an oven dish or springform pan with the 5 slices of puff pastry, ensuring it covers the base and sides evenly.
- Use a fork to prick holes in the pastry to prevent it from puffing up excessively during baking.
- Layer the Ingredients:
- Spoon the sautéed mixture of vegetables and turkey onto the pastry-lined dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure each slice of quiche is bursting with flavor.
- Whisk the Eggs:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs, 2 tablespoons crème fraîche, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour and Sprinkle:
- Pour the egg and crème fraîche mixture over the layered ingredients in the dish, ensuring it seeps into every nook and cranny.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle grated cheese over the top if desired.
Step 3: Baking to Perfection
- Bake the Quiche:
- Carefully transfer the assembled quiche into the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Check for Doneness:
- To ensure your quiche is cooked to perfection, insert a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, your quiche is ready to be served and savored.
