Don't waste Food - Make something for your freezer. Egg, Cheese and Ham in a Tasty Sauce

I'm about to go away for a few days. I went to clean out my fridge. There were so many bits and pieces tucked away in there
Spring onions, red and green pepper, celery in the Vege bin
Some shaved champagne ham, 3 eggs, milk just on it's last legs, and some chunks of old cheese
A few cherry tomatoes

Surely I can do something with this.

Yes I can!
Here is the finished dish ready to go into the freezer, for a meal when I get home
I will either cook up some yummy mashed potatoes and smother the sauce with them
Or Might just cover it with a Golden Puff Pastry Lid
Going to be tasty, no matter what
To fill this plastic container
I used
75 gms butter
75 gms Flour
450 mls of milk

salt and pepper

1 small green pepper chopped
1/4 red pepper chopped
3 spring onions chopped
2 sticks celery chopped
6 cherry tomatoes cut in half

Handful of shaved ham chopped
2 hard boiled eggs peeled and chopped
1/2 cup of chopped leftover cheese

Over medium heat, melt butter
Add chopped vege
Season with Sea salt and Ground Black pepper
saute about 3-4 mins till tender

Add flour
Stir well
Cook for about 2-3 minutes to get the rawness out of the flour
Add the milk
Keep stirring till sauce is thickened
Let cook again,
You may need to add more milk, don't want it too gluggy
Add the protein
Gently fold in, then I plonked it into a plastic container, and it is now in the freezer
Yumo
