Egg White Bites
Egg White Bites are a light, fluffy, and protein-packed snack or meal option that can be customized with your favorite vegetables and cheese.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 oz egg whites (in brick or from 16 fresh eggs)
- ½ cup cottage cheese (full fat recommended)
- ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella (or Monterey Jack)
- ⅓ cup fresh spinach (chopped)
- ¼ cup red bell pepper (roasted and diced)
- ⅓ tsp sea salt (or more to taste)
- ⅓ tsp garlic powder
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spray a silicone muffin pan with cooking spray or grease it with oil.
- (Optional) To make your Egg White Bites extra fluffy, place a rack in the center of the oven. Add a second rack beneath it and fill a large baking pan with water, placing it on the lower rack to create steam.
- In a blender, combine the liquid egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
- After blending, use a fork or spoon to mix in the chopped spinach and diced red pepper. Do not blend again.
- Pour the egg white mixture into each muffin mold, filling them about ¾ full. If you like, sprinkle some more diced red pepper and chopped spinach on top.
Cooking
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bites have set in the center.
- Let them cool before serving.
Notes
Egg White Bites can be served warm or at room temperature. They are excellent on their own or with fresh fruit and a simple salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for longer storage.
