Clean Out The Fridge Day

Friday, I decided it was time to do something about the situation as seen in my before photo~

With Rob helping, I went through it shelf by shelf, throwing some things away (hummus from two months ago etc)and putting other things on the counter to be used for dinner.
After~

And the byproduct of this mad fridge cleaning was salad and crustless quiche/frittata for dinner. I layered everything that I wanted to use up and poured an egg, eggwhite and milk royale over top. It was surprisingly delicious.


Layers were:
smoked tuna
basil
spinach
red onion
cream cheese
green olives
parsley
chicken
aged cheddar

I just cleaned out the fridge at Friday - I found some stinky cheese in the back *yikes*

That crustless quiche looks great. It's coincidental you should make that; only yesterday I was looking through JC's The Way to Cook and she talked about how you could simply put the quiche filling ingredients into a pan, without crust, and it would be fine. I thought, that's what I'm going to do -- I'm always wanting to have eggs for breakfast but there's rarely time to actually cook them. If I had something quiche-y on hand, I'd be all set.

Oh, and -- I must try to find smoked tuna. That sounds so good.
