What it is
Quiche filling is the creamy, savory mixture that forms the base of a quiche. It typically consists of eggs, dairy products like milk or cream, and various seasonings. Other ingredients such as cheese, vegetables, and meats are often added to the filling before baking.
Why it's used
Quiche filling provides the rich, custard-like texture and flavor characteristic of quiches. Manufacturers use it as the primary component in pre-made quiches and similar savory baked goods. It is found in products like breakfast quiches, savory tarts, and egg bakes.
Health notes
Eggs and dairy are common food ingredients that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. These ingredients are nutritious, providing protein, vitamins, and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated eggs and dairy products extensively. No specific health concerns are associated with the consumption of quiche filling at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Quiche filling is derived from eggs and often contains milk, both of which are among the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten unless wheat-based ingredients are added.
