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). 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 frothy and slightly airy. Season with salt and pepper to taste to enhance the flavor.
  3. Add Fillings: Gently fold in the diced vegetables, shredded cheese, and cooked meat if using. Carefully mix to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg whites without deflating them.
  4. Pour into Muffin Tin: Divide the egg white mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for the bites to rise.
  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 lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the tin from the oven and let the bites cool for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Customize the fillings with your favorite vegetables and protein to suit your taste or dietary needs.
  • Using muffin liners makes cleanup easier and helps keep the bites intact.
  • These bites can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated in a microwave or oven.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Ensure the egg whites are whipped sufficiently to make the bites fluffy and light.
