Recipe tips Cornstarch, known as cornflour in the UK, is a fine, white powder made from the starchy part of the corn kernel. It is commonly used to thicken liquids in cooking and baking. Adding cornstarch in the recipe: Mix all the other cream cheese filling ingredients together first, then add the cornstarch last. Cornstarch helps thicken the mixture, and if it’s added too early or mixed too much, it can become overly activated, leading to a texture that’s too thick or clumpy. By adding the cornstarch last and stirring gently, you avoid overworking it and prevent the mixture from becoming too dense or grainy. Tortillas: Warm the tortillas briefly on the stovetop (about 5 seconds per side) or in the microwave (10–15 seconds ). This makes them pliable and prevents cracking when shaping them in the pan. Sun-dried tomato substitute Fresh Cherry or Grape Tomatoes: These are less watery than regular tomatoes and add a fresh, sweet flavor. Just cut them in halves or quarters. Caramelized Onions: If you want a sweet and savory taste, you can add caramelized onions instead. Simply cook them slowly in a pan until they’re golden and soft. Cream cheese: Best to use a full-fat, plain cream cheese, such as Philadelphia or any other brand that offers a smooth and creamy texture. Avoid using flavored or low-fat cream cheese, as it may affect the texture and flavor of the quiche. "
