Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 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)

Others

  • 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, then season them with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  3. Add Fillings: Gently fold in the diced vegetables, shredded cheese, and cooked meat if using, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg whites for consistent taste in every bite.
  4. Pour into Muffin Tin: Evenly divide the egg white mixture into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for expansion during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg white bites are fully set and have a light golden color on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the baked egg white bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, or store them properly for later consumption.

Notes

  • You can customize the fillings with any vegetables, cheese, or meat you prefer.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the cooked meat.
  • These bites freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or oven for a quick meal.
  • Use muffin liners for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Make sure not to overfill the muffin cups to avoid spillage during baking.
