A chicken is just an overly complicated way for an egg to make another egg

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.

Is a breakfast burrito a sandwich?

Alternative, could it be a Wellington?

According to the way my dad makes "quiche" it's an ommelette with more cheese than egg set inside of a pie crust.

Booooo! Get out of here with that reasonable and accurate analysis! We're not here for truth, we're here for shower facts

(Yes you are correct, eggs =/= chicken as an ingredient. You learn this when you try to use pureed chicken breast as an egg replacement in cake. It was a meaty cake)

Haha true I don't think I'd like a cake made with pureed chicken instead of eggs!

scrambled egg is just shredded chicken, but ready in 2 min?

I just came here to say that I really love chicken pot pie.

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

A breakfast burrito is kind of like a quick quiche. 🤔️
