My version of the quiche recipe.

CAUTION! Sour cream is not used in French cuisine proper. Like, AT ALL. After 3 year of close acquaintance with French people and their culture I found out that sour cream is not even produced and sold in France.
Even the French diary company PRESIDENT which is producing it for the sales abroad does not sell it in their home country.

For an Eastern European it's a nightmare, we put sour cream pretty much in everything.

So, my quiche dough does have sour cream added. French people tasted and approved :)

For the dough:

250g baking margarine (I use 1 brick of HERA)
190g sour cream (approximately 1 cup, I use 1 package of any supermarket sour cream)
sodium bicarbonate, the amount taken by the table knife tip
2-3 cups of fine white flour (you should get a rather stiff dough, so adjust accordingly)

Melt the margarine on low fire, cool down, poor into the kitchen mixer bowl, add sour cream, mix and gradually pour the flour mixed with sodium bicarbonate

For the filling:

2 chicken breasts cut into cubes, 1-2 onions sliced finely - fry in sunflower oil and cool down
250g of any hard cheese, I usually use several types one of which is Cheddar and another Edam or Emmental, grated. Add 150g of any blue cheese chopped into small cubes, mix in a bowl with the fried chicken and onions, add chopped scallions
