After opinions regarding using shop bought quiche please.
We are having some friends over for a drink for my birthday and husband is insisting that I won’t be doing anything towards the food other than advising him! Want to keep it very simple and only do finger food and thought small slices of quiche might be nice. Question is has anyone bought quiche and sliced it before heating it up?

I agree about the pastry. I just like a thin crispy crust. Our local shop has fabulous ones made by a local lady. Delicious ham and mustard or goats cheese and onion marmalade ones - both with a crisp cheesy crust. So yummy! Mouth watering just thinking about them. smile

Thorners are absolutely delicious.

They could easily be homemade, they even have a slightly rustic look.
Very large. £6 from Ocado.

My 1st choice too.
I also get these from Ocado

I find some a bit 'wet'. I make my own crustless ones usually, unless I'm in a rush.

I must admit I tend to find supermarket quiches a bit on the bland side, so I do tend to make my own. I prefer the 'crustless' ones - which usually just have the pastry on the bottom - but most of them never seem to hit the mark flavour-wise. Higgedy ones are quite nice, but very expensive unless they're on offer.

A friend makes wonderful quiches which are just the best - but favourite shop bought is Scottish salmon and broccoli - M&S. if you like fish of course.

You could chop a little fresh dill and sprinkle on top to give it a home made look ……. ?

I find lidl quiches with a green salad always go well at my suppers.Their potato salad to accompany is a favourite.

I usually get them from M and S. I bake them in the oven and allow to cool before slicing. I think they’re much nicer that way.

M&S do a 'selection box' of Quiche - already cut into portions,can't remember if it is 8 or 9 portions. Cost is £5. Quiche Lorraine, Leek and Mushroom, Cheese and Onion.

TillyTrotter chopped herbs, you are so right. Always add to shop bought stuff, it helps enormously. Who’s bothered whether you’ve spent ages slaving over a hot stove or not, it’s the company that counts.
I hate home made mince pies for instance and always prefer M&S ones.

Thank you every one for your replies. Just to report back, bought the Morison’s ones, (no M&S near us) cut into slices and then heated them. People said they tasted nice, DH did sprinkle some herbs, pepper and paprika over them first.
They didn’t leak or collapse either.

Superb. Great food with minimum work. I hope you had a very Happy Birthday nandad and enjoyed your celebration with friends ? ? ? ?

Another vote here for Morrisons cheese & onion quiche! It's really tasty.
"Life's too short to stuff a mushroom" is one of my favourite quotes. Used to love Shirley Conran's books back in the day as well.
