Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 cup Spinach, fresh and chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 0.25 cup Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the chopped spinach, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onions to the bowl with the egg whites. Stir to combine well.
Gently fold in the crumbled low-fat feta cheese and chopped fresh basil.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into each prepared muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving directly.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave for a quick breakfast on the go!
