Ingredients
Eggs
- 1 cup Fresh Egg Whites Can use liquid egg whites from a carton.
Vegetables
- 1 cup Chopped Vegetables Spinach, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, zucchini, or mushrooms.
Cheese
- 1/2 cup Cheese Options Feta, cheddar, or mozzarella.
Spices and Herbs
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Cooking Spray
- as needed Non-Stick Cooking Spray Or a light coating of olive oil.
Nutritional Yeast
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast For a cheesy flavor without the calories.
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial because a properly heated oven ensures even cooking.
Gather Your Ingredients
- You will need fresh egg whites, your choice of vegetables, cheese options, and spices. Having everything ready will streamline the process.
Prepare Your Muffin Tin
- Lightly grease a muffin tin or use silicone molds. Silicone molds are particularly great because they make it easy to pop out the bites without sticking.
Mix the Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites until they are frothy. Then, add in your chopped vegetables, cheese, and spices. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Fill the Molds
- Pour the egg white mixture into the prepared muffin tin or silicone molds. Fill each mold about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should be set and slightly golden on top. If you notice they are browning too quickly, you can cover them loosely with foil.
Cool and Serve
- Once baked, remove the egg white bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, gently pop them out of the molds. Serve warm, or let them cool completely for meal prep!
