What can I do with this food in my fridge before it goes off and I have to throw it out?

In my fridge, leftover from Christmas because of a set of plans changing, I have

19 eggs
3 tubs of marscapone
various veggies

plus a well stocked store cupboard

Ideally, stuff I can freeze

What I am thinking so far is

bacon and egg roll for lunch (takes me down to 18 eggs)

apple and onion tart (uses 3 egg yolks)
small pavlova

(15 eggs left)

sponge cake

(just the sponge and I can freeze it - 10 eggs left)

can I do a carbonara-y type sauce with a tub of the marscapone and some bacon and garlic tonight for tea?

soup with the veggies

maybe a veggie frittatta?

help!

If you make a few big quiches you can get rid of some mascarpone and eggs, and maybe some veg depending what it is. Just substitute milk with mascarpone. Will freeze fine after cooking.

Any leftover eggs, how about splitting them and making something custardy with the yolks and so meringues with the whites? I haven't frozen custard but I would think it would be ok as long as you defrost it gently? Meringues last ages anyway, or you can bung them in the freezer.

Eggs will last for ever! No worry there. REmember your mum/gran used to just leave them on the side in a chicken pot without a single "use by" date. You will know if an egg is off!

Make the veggies into soup/pasta sauce and freeze if you son't think they'll last- mascapone coulf be added to this.

Make and eat tiramisu!

So, the diet starts next week then? Grin

Some great ideas - hadn't thought of custardy stuff or putting marscapone in the soup

Cheese souffle uses loads of eggs. Make meringues with the whites.

It's really easy and still delicious when it sinks.
