‘Reminded me of a cheese, onion and mayo sandwich’: the best (and worst) supermarket quiche, tasted and rated
Which quiche egg-celled and which crumbled in the face of our rigorous taste test? • The best supermarket extra-virgin olive oil I learned to make quiche from one of the best chefs I know, Gill Meller , my old head chef at River Cottage HQ, about 20 years ago.
His quiche is rich and creamy, with beautifully crumbly pastry, and my benchmark for these store-bought versions. I tasted all of the quiches cooked according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Overall, the quality was lower than I’d hoped for, with many relying on ultra-processed ingredients, such as palm oil, emulsifiers and, often, caged-hen eggs. Free-range products didn’t always communicate this clearly on the packet, so it’s worth checking the ingredients list.
