Applying pastry techniques in unexpected places

I’ve been experimenting with how pastry techniques can elevate savory dishes, and it’s been a game changer. Recently, I tried using a pâte sucrée crust for a quiche and wow, the texture was just divine! I’m curious if anyone else has ventured into this territory and what you’ve created; I’m always looking for fresh ideas and inspiration.

I tried a savory tart using a pâte brisée crust instead of the usual pastry, and it was like the best of both worlds — flaky with a hint of crunch! While sweet pastry can be divine, don’t forget that sometimes a little saltiness goes a long way… What savory combinations have you all been loving lately?
