Ingredients
- 2 cups liquid egg whites or 10 to 12 egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese or shredded cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/3 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup cooked turkey bacon or chicken sausage
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: garlic powder onion powder, or paprika
Instructions
Reheat before eating.
- Warm a bite in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or 30 seconds if cold from the fridge.
Heat the oven to 350°F.
- This helps the bites cook evenly and set fast.
Grease a muffin pan.
- Use nonstick spray or a little oil so the bites don’t stick.
Whisk the egg whites.
- Pour the egg whites into a bowl. Add salt, pepper, and cheese. Whisk until smooth.
Prep your fillings.
- Chop spinach, peppers, mushrooms, or cooked turkey bacon. Pat wet veggies dry.
Stir the fillings into the egg mix.
- Mix gently so the veggies and meat spread evenly.
Fill the muffin cups.
- Pour the mixture into each cup until it’s about three-quarters full. Leave room for the eggs to rise.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
- The bites should look set on top and feel firm in the center. Bake a little longer if needed.
Cool the bites.
- Let the pan rest for 5 minutes. This makes the bites easier to remove.
Store the bites.
- Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
