In pregnancy: Yes โ quiche are safe to eat during pregnancy. Thorough cooking removes any salmonella risk from the eggs.
Worth knowing: Cooked dishes such as curry, chilli, soup and stew are among the best things to freeze: the sauce protects the food from freezer burn and flavours often improve. The FoodKeeper window for leftovers containing meat, fish, poultry or egg is 2โ3 months for best quality; it stays safe beyond that.
