Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 4 pieces egg whites
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 cup sliced green onions
- 1 cup diced cooked turkey breast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese until fully combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, baby spinach, chopped red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and diced cooked turkey breast.
Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix until the ingredients are well distributed.
Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the egg bites.
Serve warm or let them cool completely for storage. They can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days or frozen for up to three months.
