Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs equivalent Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Cottage cheese, low fat
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheese
- 0.25 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare a standard muffin tin by spraying it generously with nonstick cooking spray.
In a blender, combine 6 egg whites, 0.5 cup of low-fat cottage cheese, 0.5 cup of reduced-fat shredded cheese, and blend until smooth. This helps to incorporate air and create a fluffier texture.
Pour the egg mixture into a bowl, and stir in 0.25 cup of diced red bell pepper and 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions.
Season with 0.25 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes in the pan, then carefully remove them using a small spatula or knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.
