Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs egg whites
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Chop the fresh spinach finely and add it to the bowl with the egg whites.
Add the low-fat cottage cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring again to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Pour the egg white mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the egg bites are firm and lightly golden.
Allow the egg white bites to cool slightly in the tin for about 5 minutes before removing them.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
