Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large egg whites
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat feta cheese
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Rinse the fresh spinach and pat dry. Chop it into smaller pieces.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces.
Chop the green onions finely, including the green tops.
In a large bowl, combine the egg whites, chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and green onions.
Add the reduced-fat feta cheese, salt, and black pepper to the egg white mixture. Stir gently until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
