I decided to declare this week clean out the fridge week because I hate having lots of food on hand. I rarely buy things I don't need, but when things are on sale and I have coupons, I can't help myself. I did a lot of baking at Christmas, and had leftover savory pie crust in the freezer. I also have eggs, some cheddar cheese, and ham and sausage left from last week's dinner challenge, so I decided to make quiche. I love making quiche because you literally can just clean out the fridge/freezer and put anything and everything in it. Peppers were not on sale this week, so all I bought was a bag of diced peppers and onions from the freezer section, and there's dinner for only $1.19!
I wasn't going to blog this week, but maybe my clean out the fridge will spark some ideas for you to have your own clean out the fridge/pantry week!
Everything Breakfast Quiche
1 pie crust, rolled into a pie plate
5 eggs
1/4 c. milk
1/4 lb. sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/4 c. diced ham
1 c. frozen diced bell peppers and onions
1/2 c. lowfat cheddar cheese
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper and cayenne.
Add sausage, ham, peppers, onions, and cheese to pie crust.
Pour egg mixture over top.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until quiche is set in the middle when you jiggle it, puffy, and brown.

I absolutely love quiche. I can eat it any time of day!!!
I need to declare war on my refrigerator sometime soon. For awhile I was doing so well at not wasting food but lately I've become a slacker again. I also love getting frozen onions and peppers. It's so much cheaper and so convenient if you're going to chop them up small anyhow.
Isn't it so rewarding to use up everything in your fridge? I feel so efficient when my refrigerator is empty. I hate to waste and like you, rarely buy things that I'm not using that week. Quiches are definitely a good solution.
Eggs are a fantastic way to use up ingredients since they go with just about everything.
