What it is
A baked egg patty is made from whole eggs that are cooked and formed into a patty shape. The eggs are typically whisked, seasoned, and then baked or fried until firm. This process creates a convenient and versatile egg product.
Why it's used
Egg patties are often used as a protein source in breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and other convenient meal options. Manufacturers add them to provide a familiar egg flavor and texture, as well as to increase the protein content of packaged foods. They are commonly found in frozen breakfast items and meal kits.
Health notes
Eggs are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers eggs to be a staple food. Regulatory bodies like the WHO and EFSA have not raised specific concerns about the consumption of eggs in typical amounts. As with any food, excessive consumption could lead to an imbalance in nutrient intake.
Allergen info
Egg is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. People with an egg allergy should avoid products containing baked egg patties.
