Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 large egg whites
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or lightly coat with oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and cottage cheese until smooth. Stir in the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, salt, and pepper.
- If desired, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions for extra flavor. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Serving
- Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm as part of a balanced breakfast or enjoy them on their own.
Storage
- Store any leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
