Crossword Genius

Most artists have quiche (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tart

'quiche' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'most artists have' is the wordplay.
'have' indicates a hidden word.
'TART' is hidden in the letters of 'most artists'.

(Other definitions for tart that I've seen before include "Sarcastic" , "A bit sour like open cake" , "Sharp or acid tasting" , "Of taste, sharp or acid" , "Biting - pastry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
