Seeded shortcrust pastry filled with creamy béchamel, leaf spinach, mature cheddar and crumbled feta cheese, topped with roasted red peppers and toasted pine nuts.

Very nice quiche and I like the fact that it’s vegetarian society approved, this means that Higgidy have made an effort to make sure it is fully vegetarian, which I appreciate as a lifelong vegetarian (so, thanks).

I totally adore this pie. As a vegetarian it is rare to find a pie that isn’t just cheese and onion, and also one that is made of shortcrust pastry, which is my absolute favourite. :o)

Absolutely awesome! A pie supreme! The best tasting vegetarian pie of all time.
Such a shame they are so hard to find in NW London! Most Higgidy stockists only stock the little quiches and those that do, run out fast when the have the Spinach, Feta & Toasted Pine Nut Pie in stock! Doesn’t surprise me because they’re great.

I’ve never had a pie that literally melted in my mouth before. It was very filling but incredibly light to eat. I’d rate it the best vegetarian meal I’ve ever had and that includes some pricey restaurant meals!

Really, really like them. Thank you.

Thank you very much indeed for making such delicious pies.
I first discovered your pies when I stopped eating meat last year, and tried the spinach and feta cheese pie. It was utterly yummy – the pastry was nice and thin and the filling light in texture. Since then I have also had the red pepper quiche and homity pie, which are equally tasty, but I think my favourite is the spinach pie.
Nice website, too.
Thank you again.
Best wishes,
Helena

It is most unusual for me to buy a ready-made pie, even if it is made for M&S, as I pride myself in retaining my mother’s remarkable ability to produce good, old-fashioned, home cooking. But I have to concede this time. That was one of the most delicious bought pies I have ever tasted. Well done Higgidy.

Hi
Bought 2 (frozen) Higgidy from Sainsbury’s in Tadley, Hampshire(monday) (on way back from photographing Aldermastern Wharf (Kennet & Avon canal-had not tried Sainsbury’s new cafe.) just ’appen’d upon budget not big(£5 -ish seemed a treat) – usually buy Linda’s pies (the pasties semed to go missing from the freezer-really!).
Cooked them tonight – i had this one (pine nut) – my wife(Paula) had the mushroom/feta/spinach.
I cooked cauliflower and Asparagus (microwaved) to go with.
Made for us a deligtful change and enjoyable meal.
Hoping to find some more in Basingstoke as Tadley is not so often a place we shop.
we thank you ( hopefully Paula will write a poem (as it is ‘wot’ -she does!
(i can only offer my photo site www.flickr.com/photos/colinbp (if of any interest and have alreadyt discussed our pleasurable experience on facebook.)

I occasionally have my Grandad and his partner (whose vegetarian) babysit my son. Up til recently any attempt to provide them with snacks or food in the fridge has not been successful – I come home and they’re uneaten. I then discovered the Spinach, Feta and Toasted Pine Nut pie. Now when I ask them to babysit, the 1st question is never “How long for?” or “Will he have eaten?” or “Do we need to bring anything?”, it’s “Can make sure there are 2 of those gorgeous Higgidy pies in the fridge for us?”!
Thank you Higgidy!

I’ve been living in London for 18 months now, and I can’t imagine how many of your spinach, feta & pine nut pies I’ve eaten!!! They are DELICIOUS!!! I could seriously eat one a day, and never get sick of them!!!
My only problem is I’m going back to Australia in 6 months and I won’t have them anymore *sob :-(

Hi Higgidy!
Just wanted to say that I love your pies and am so happy that I can now buy them at my local Sainsburys!
I first tired them a couple of years ago now at the Taste of Christmas festival down in London. My mum and I loved them so much that we went back to your stall twice! That’s how I get your newsletter emailed to me.
I was so happy to see them in the supermarket, it took me right back to visiting your stall! I had to buy one! It was a feta, spinach and pine nut pie….mmmmmmm…it was delicious!
Keep up the good work Hiddidy! I’d like to see more pies in all supermarkets! (Asda is more local to me than Sainsburys, we’d love them to be sold there too!)

“Absolutely love the Higgity quiches that I’ve tried so far. They knock the spots off standard supermarket brands and are packed full of wholesome ingredients. Worth paying extra for as they are far tastier and filling. Infact one quiche often lasts for two meals for two people. It would be even better if Waitrose was able to stock your full range though, they only ever seem to have one or two versions to choose from when I’m in store and usually it’s the spinach and pine nut one, which although scrumptious, leaves me wanting to try more from your range.”

“Delicious feta and spinach pie. Totally amazing. As a French person who loves to make easy and super tasty quiche every week – I’ve never been able to stomache the ready made stuff in sainsbury’s, but this!! Amazing. Possible to make anything that doesn’t have quite so many calories & fat content? Pretty please?”

“Noticed your Spinach, Feta & Toasted Pine Nut Pie in Sainsbury, was looking for something for dinner and was pleased to find what looked like a yummier veggie alternative to what in store was offering. Well yummier cannot sum up just how wonderful the pie was, is there a better word? I have got to go and buy some more, totally gorgeous – and I may just pass it off as my own work!!! So very pleased to have found you and I am sure all other veggies out there will say the same.”

“Ohhhh Higgidy Thank You, your pies, are divine, my particular favourite is the Spinach Feta & Toasted Pine Nut Deep Pie, ( I love the red peppers) from a veggie of 54 years you are a rare treat & most favourable find! My husband did the shop last weekend & he forgot my higgidy higgidy, as we call them, needless to say he is making a special journey tomorrow! You are the best.”

“I have fallen in love with your Higgidy Spinach, Feta, & Pine Nut Pie. As a veggie i find it very hard to find pies without mushroom (as a meat substitute) that are also tasty but wow did you manage to do just that! I enjoyed every little mouthful, the pine-nuts gave it just the* right bite* too. even though the red peppers were not my cup of tea they were easy to take off as they were only on the top, so I was a very happy bunny at dinner last night thank you!”
