Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Vegetables & Cheese

  • 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Others

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Egg Mixture: Combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy, ensuring a light texture.
  3. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the blended mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow space for expansion.
  4. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and optional shredded cheddar cheese on top of each filled muffin cup for flavor and color.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and edges turn golden brown, indicating they are cooked through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the egg white bites to cool briefly before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for easy grab-and-go meals.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, omit cottage cheese and cheddar cheese or substitute with dairy-free alternatives.
  • Customize veggies by adding mushrooms, onions, or tomatoes as desired.
  • Use silicone muffin cups for easier removal.
  • Egg white bites can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes for added heat if preferred.
