Ingredients

Scale

Egg Base

  • 1 cup egg whites (about 8 large egg whites)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fillings

  • 1/2 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup cooked meat (optional; turkey, ham, or bacon)

Other

  • Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk the Egg Whites: In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy and slightly airy. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  3. Add Fillings: Gently fold in the diced vegetables, shredded cheese, and cooked meat if using. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg whites for balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Pour into Muffin Tin: Evenly divide the mixture among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg white bites are set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the egg white bites to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or store them in an airtight container for a quick protein-packed snack later.

Notes

  • You can customize the fillings based on your preference or dietary restrictions; try mushrooms, tomatoes, or different cheeses.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the meat or replace it with plant-based protein.
  • These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • If frozen, reheat in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds before serving.
  • To reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium cheese and control added salt.
