Servings: 12 bites
Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 1 16 oz carton egg whites
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ¼ cup Feta cheese crumbled
- ¼ tsp Sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Vegetables
- ¼ yellow onion finely chopped
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- ⅓ cup spinach finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 12-cavity muffin pan with oil.
- Add egg whites, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, salt, and black pepper to a blender. Pulse for around 30s until the mixture is relatively smooth.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine onion, red bell pepper, and spinach.
- Now, add and divide the vegetable mixture between the 12 muffin cups.
- Cover with the egg blend, filling up each muffin cup so they're around 3/4 full.
- Place your muffin pan on a baking sheet. Fill the baking sheet with about 1 inch of boiling water.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the egg whites cool down inside the muffin pan for around 5 minutes before removing. They will still be hot but much more manageable for removal.
