+1 these are delicious!

Not that good and it's crust is soggy and definitely doesn't seem homemade. I do feed this to my family though. It's La Terra Fina brand and you can get it at Safeway too.


If you buy it at Safeway FYI the broccoli one is good, dislike the spinach one (but we get the Costco 2 pack all the time).

My favorite quiches locally are from Patisserie Poupon in Georgetown; they are individual-sized and delicious!

Yes, I know, but as I mentioned, I don't have time to make one today. I don't have all the ingredients and have a busy work day up until they come over.


You said you need it for tomorrow. If you have time to buy a grocery store quiche and cook it, you have time to buy some quiche or at least frittata ingredients. Cook tonight and warm up tomorrow before serving. It’s rude to host guests then serve terrible food.


I'd knock out the crust and prep the custard evening before. Day of, assemble and serve your guests a fresh cooked quiche.


Agree. Best idea.

That store bought crust is terrible.

Is this a work potluck or something? I can't imagine serving store bought to guests in my home. Bathroom issues are sure to abound.

Is quiche a requirement? I'd serve cheese & crackers. It's simple and everyone loves cheese.

The best part is you buy enough cheese so you have leftover cheese to eat.

That's 2 pounds quiche, according to the website. It's a waste unless OP has enough guests to finish it in one setting.

It's not something you serve to guests.


Snob. It's the same thing restaurants serve you!


Which restaurants?
