Author’s Note: As per usual, this is not a paid or sponsored review. These are my own cheesy opinions. I have no affiliation with Cuisine Adventures<\/a> or Costco<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost irreproachable.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve tried a few different products from Cuisine Adventures, and these mini quiches are my second<\/em> favorite<\/em>. So far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, this is the second year<\/em> I’ve purchased a giant box of them from Costco. That’s 144 little quiches, all for my own greedy stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The crust is fabulous. It’s tender, yet holds a clean shape around each quiche. Perfect little browned bottoms. Normally, I would not be excited about such a thick crust on my quiche — I want to taste the filling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, in this case, it’s scrumptious. I love sinking my teeth into this thick pastry. It has a distinct buttery flavor, and gently-crisp texture. I was impressed to discover real butter in the ingredients. More about that later.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You get two flavors in this box: Three Cheese and Florentine. The quiche filling is fluffy and delicate. It’s a satisfying balance of whipped milky-egg custard and cheesy density. In fact, the first three ingredients are milk, eggs, and cheese. This is a VERY moist filling. But it still holds a great shape.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Florentine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Florentine variety is a combination of spinach and mozzarella. There’s a generous<\/em> amount of deep green spinach pieces, without tasting too… you know, spinach-y. The vegetable compliments, rather than overpowers. Not overly herbaceous. Spinach can sometimes taste drab. Fortunately, that’s not the case here. It has a bright, fresh taste. There’s also savory onion flavor, and a kick of parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If you’re looking for another spinach-filled appetizer, check out my review of these frozen Spanakopita<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Three Cheese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I do prefer the “Three Cheese” variety, because the flavors are a bit richer. This is a combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and feta. The cheese is blended into the filling to the point where there are only a few small, stretchy cheese blobs. But it has a fabulous tangy-sharp taste that balances the blander egg base. There’s a delicate hint of chive and garlic. Palpable bits of tender chopped onion punctuate the airy filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Wondering what my favorite frozen appetizers are? It’s these Puff Pastry Bites, also from Cuisine Adventures. Check out my review<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Serving the appetizers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love the self-contained, sturdy shape of these quiches. They’re easy to pick up without making a mess. For a normal person, these are probably “2-bite” quiches. They’re an ideal appetizer size. However, I have been known to eat these for a quick dinner, too. There’s no law against that.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually like the flavors better after they’ve cooled down. So, they’re perfect for a party buffet where you can’t keep alllll<\/em> the food hot. You know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This package is huge. I mean, YUGE. Enormous. I worked hard to create enough space in my freezer to accommodate this. Hmmph!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside are 3 individually-sealed plastic trays of quiches. Two dozen quiches per tray. I like this, because I can open one at a time, and keep the rest fresh for later in the year. The compartments in the tray keep the quiches in pristine condition. Not a single broken or squashed soul in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Individually<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cuisine Adventures does<\/em> sell another flavor assortment, which includes an “applewood smoked bacon” quiche variety. It would be cool if you could buy a box with all three flavors, instead of just two at a time. That’s about the only bad thing I have to say about this product. That, and I might add just a smidge more salt. Because, salt.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Fool-proof preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I respect packaged food that it is easy and reliable to prepare. Cuisine Adventures has somehow created a truly fool-proof product. These come out of the oven (or air fryer) with golden-brown crusts and piping-hot, but tender centers. The filling doesn’t ooze out or overflow. I line my baking pans with parchment, but these don’t stick either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a random side note, the quiches cook at the same temperature and time as these frozen El Monteray Tacquitos. I find this weirdly satisfying, especially when I’m cooking a bunch of party food at once.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
