I am part of the Kroger Private Selection BzzCampaign on BzzAgent, and got coupons to try several Private Selection products for free.
When I was at the grocery store the other day, one of my selections was the mini-quiche appetizer. There are nine per package, and the shelf price was $6.79. Under normal circumstances, I would not pay that much for an appetizer, and consider that price to be much too high for a package of nine.
My package, when I opened it today, contained only eight. Lucky me. lol Had I paid for this purchase, I would complain.
I prepared the quiches as instructed on the box, and let them cool a couple of minutes. The crusts were pretty good - flaky but not crumbly, and didn't taste floury. A good-tasting crust is hard to make. So, thumbs up on the crust, Kroger chefs.
As for taste, they were good, but not great, and I wasn't really impressed. The mushroom quiches were a bit overpowering. I think they would have tasted better had the mushroom bits been distributed into the egg mixture, rather than all sitting at the bottom. The spinach quiches had more spinach than egg, and though I like spinach, I didn't particularly like this flavor at all. The florentine quiche was the best of the three, with a good balance of ingredients, spiced well (as in neither bland nor heavily seasoned) and was actually the most attractive visually.
All in all, this product did not make the cut, and I am not likely to repurchase them, nor can I recommend this specific appetizer to friends or family.
