Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Other
- Non-stick cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Egg Whites: In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become slightly frothy, which helps to create a light texture.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Gently fold in the chopped spinach, red bell pepper, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully set and have a slight golden color on top.
- Cool and Remove: Remove from the oven and let the bites cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
- Serve or Store: Serve warm for the best taste or refrigerate for up to 4 days for quick breakfasts or snacks on the go.
Notes
- Customize your egg white bites by adding cooked bacon, mushrooms, or fresh herbs to suit your taste.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the cheddar cheese or replace it with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- These bites freeze well; simply store in a sealed freezer bag and reheat in the microwave before serving.
