Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large egg whites
- 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Add the low-fat cottage cheese, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, and parmesan cheese to the egg whites. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Fold in the chopped fresh spinach, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Allow the egg bites to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then carefully remove them using a spatula.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds before serving.
