Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking of the egg white bites.
- Mix Egg Whites and Cottage Cheese: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and cottage cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, and chopped spinach, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as desired.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin lightly with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking, then pour the egg mixture evenly into each cup.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and have a light golden color on top.
- Cool: Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing the egg bites from the muffin tin to ensure they hold their shape.
- Serve or Store: Serve the egg white bites warm, or store them in the refrigerator for a healthy make-ahead breakfast or snack option.

- You can swap bell peppers and spinach for other vegetables like mushrooms or tomatoes.
- Use any cheese you prefer, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack, for different flavors.
- These egg white bites can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- For dairy-free options, substitute cottage cheese and shredded cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- Ensure the muffin tin is well greased to prevent sticking and easier removal.
