Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs (equivalent to 1 1/2 cups) Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Red bell peppers, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Spinach, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (for greasing the pan) Olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 cup (for the water bath) Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Fill a baking dish with 1 cup of water and place it on the lower rack of your oven. This creates steam to mimic the sous vide cooking method.
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a blender, combine egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy, about 20-30 seconds.
Divide the diced red bell peppers and chopped spinach evenly among the muffin tin cups.
Pour the egg white mixture into the muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven, directly above the baking dish with water.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly puffed.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them with a spatula or butter knife.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-40 seconds before enjoying.
