Vibrantly Veg-Packed
At Higgidy, we’re all about creativity and innovation, crafting top-notch, great tasting food for you to enjoy. Something else we’re particularly proud of is how clever the team are at packing our recipes with delicious, vibrant veggies, which is why over 70% of our range is now vegetarian or vegan.
Recently, we set ourselves a challenge to create our veggiest range yet by packing as much veg into our quiches as possible, without compromising on our great quality and taste.
After lots of peeling, chopping, mashing and pureeing we finally cracked it and are thrilled to introduce two delicious veg-packed quiches that are vibrantly veggie, inside and out. But before we introduce you to our two delicious quiche creations, let us explain how we achieved this.
It’s all in the pastry
We often pack lots of vibrant veggies into our quiche fillings so with this project, it was all about finding nifty ways to pack even more veg into the classic quiche. It wasn’t easy but our ingenious Food Team set about creating a pastry that’s made using fresh veg. They did this by carefully mashing, puréeing, and mixing sweet potato, carrot and butternut squash to create a delicious, one-of-a-kind pastry that’s full of big flavours – bringing you more veg with less of the fat! You can tell it’s our veg-packed pastry too as it has a distinctive orange colour because of the types of veggies we’ve used.
Mediterranean Pepper & Feta Veg-Packed Quiche
Packed with sautéed onions and basil, mixed with free range eggs and a touch of creamy bechamel, hand-topped with crumbly Greek feta and roasted red and yellow peppers, this quiche is a taste of summer. All this veg along with our one-of-a-kind veg-packed pastry means that this quiche is made up of just under 50% fruit and veg. One for the record books!
Garden Greens & Ricotta Quiche
The second of our two wonderfully veggie options is our Garden Greens & Ricotta Veg-Packed Quiche. This recipe is bursting with broccoli, petit pois, spinach, creamy ricotta and is hand-topped with tangy Greek feta and sweet butternut squash. Full of feel-good greens, it’s perfect for those last-minute alfresco lunches with friends and family (hopefully spent in the sunshine!).
And there you have it, two exciting, one-of-a-kind quiches packed with top-notch ingredients and plenty of veg, what’s not to love?
Find them in Sainsbury’s now and in Waitrose from 27th April.
