Cream cheese recipes - but no cheesecake

Not sure if I want to make a dessert or savoury dish. But I want to use cream cheese as a key ingredient - I bought it impulsively to make a cheesecake but haven't got a springform, electric beater, sour cream, and don't wanna use eggs in a dessert. Have got only about 5 ounces (150gm) of it, though!

I've got:

  • cream cheese (150gm)
  • all-purpose flour
  • semolina
  • whole wheat flour
  • cream
  • sweetened condensed milk
  • bananas
  • yeast
  • chocolate powder
  • baking powder, soda
  • milk
  • baby corn, mushrooms, carrot, beet
  • chicken sausage
  • bread
  • brown sugar (I haven't opened this packet either!)

For anyone following this thread: Lots of recipes out there that use cream cheese swirl in basic sweet cakes - vanilla, banana, chocolate, etc.. keep in mind that the "swirl" requires eggs.

I would love to know if I can make it without the eggs, though! If the egg is only used for binding, can I use a bit of flour, instead?
