Notes
If you don't have crème fraîche, use heavy cream or a mixture of milk with melted butter - try 1/4 melted butter and 3/4 milk. Full fat plain yogurt is also an option.
If you cannot find a pie crust, get a package of ready rolled shortcrust pastry or make your won plain pastry and line a pie pan.
Try an onion quiche with roasted onion.
