Pidy Caters to Summer Demand with Ready-To-Fill Quiche Range

We're helping caterers create flexible summer menus with our impressive quiche range, which includes several sizes, pastry types, and recipe variants to choose from.

Pidy is a global leader in the ready-to-fill quiche category, boasting the largest portfolio of any supplier. Quiches were the first product that Pidy brought to the UK market, and has remained a key specialism. Operators can select from classic or wholemeal pastry, vegetable fat or butter recipes, with or without a foil tray or baking paper, and dietary-inclusive versions such as gluten-free – all available in a variety of sizes ranging from 7cm – 22cm. This broad spectrum of choices makes it possible to tailor a quiche offering to the unique requirements of each individual venue.

Leading the range is Pidy’s versatile butter quiches. These luxurious quiches can be enjoyed hot or cold, and the use of indulgent butter makes them compatible with both sweet and savoury fillings. Rather than a traditional egg mixture, chefs could fill these cases with a simple pastry cream and seasonal fruit for a sweet treat or experiment with savoury fillings. The subtle flavour profile enables maximum culinary creativity.

The quiche cases start at 7cm in diameter. This is perfect for creating individual portions – a great tactic for preparing multiple flavours to choose from or catering to specialist dietary requirements, such as gluten-free. At the other end of the spectrum, the 22cm quiche cases are quick and easy for chefs to fill, and can then be sliced into individual portions.

Fabien Levet, Commercial Manager at Pidy UK, explains why quiche cases are the ultimate summer menu ingredient:

“Classic quiches make great menu additions. Chefs can serve them with a healthy side salad to tap into demand for health-conscious dining, or warmed up with hearty seasonal veg. As they can be enjoyed cold, they’re ideal for grab-and-go offers or build-your-own picnic deals. And beyond the traditional egg mixture filling, our quiche cases can also be used for a range of other sweet and savoury fillings, so chefs can build a complete summer menu.”

Once filled, the quiches can be frozen, so they’re perfect for chefs looking to prep ahead of busy lunch or dinner rushes or large events. For best results, bake the empty case for 10 minutes at 180^oC to improve texture and moisture resistance.

Aside from Pidy’s butter quiches, the range also includes recipes using vegetable fat, meaning they’re suitable for plant-based diners.

Chefs looking for ideas that step away from classic egg mixtures can get inspired with Pidy’s crunchy seasonal vegetable recipe or courgette millefeuille recipes, available on the Pidy website.
