Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs worth (approximately 1.5 cups) Egg whites
- 0.5 cups Cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 0.5 cups Shredded Gruyere cheese
- 0.25 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 slices Cooked bacon, finely chopped (optional for non-vegetarian)
- 0.25 cups Baby spinach, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray or brushing with oil.
In a blender, combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded Gruyere cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, almond milk, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
If using optional bacon, cook the bacon until crisp, then chop it into small pieces. Set aside.
Distribute the chopped spinach, green onions, and optional bacon evenly across the prepared muffin cups.
Pour the egg white mixture into each muffin tin, filling about 3/4 of the way to allow room for expansion while baking.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the egg bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin using a spoon or spatula.
Serve warm, or let the egg bites cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds before enjoying.
