I have nothing in the house and I need to cook up something to eat. Can you suggest something please!

I have an egg, a bit of cheese and bits and bobs in the cupboards but no meat or fish.

I know it's a bit vague but I really hate cooking and can't think of anything!

Pasta, tin of chopped tomatoes and whatever herbs and spices you've got, with grated cheese?

Any pasta? Tin of tomatoes? Tin of tuna?

Pastryless quiches, chop up any bits & bobs of veg, fry until soft & then either put them all in a large ovenproof shallow dish or divide between muffin cases, whisk the eggs with a bit of milk, add salt, pepper & either herbs or seasoning, grate all the cheese, put half the cheese in with the veg, pour over the egg mixture & then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top, cook in the oven until set & golden brown. Can be eaten hot or cold & suitable for freezing.

Fritters.
Egg, 2 tbsp flour (SR or add some baking powder) and lots of bits and bobs plus cheese (optional), lots of seasoning, fry. Use an ice-cream scoop to measure ot perfect size fritters.
Bits and bobs could be frozen veg (just plonk them in a mug and add water from the kettle, wait 2 mins and drain), tinned stuff or left overs (curry works well).

French toast if you have any bread.

I think we need to know more about the bits and bobs!

Anything on here? cookingonabootstrap.com

I'd have a "picky tea" just boil the egg, wee what I can gather from freezer to make in oven, maybe some rice, peas etc.
