Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 egg whites
- 120 ml skim milk
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and skim milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped spinach, sliced green onions, and grated cheddar cheese to the egg mixture.
Stir in the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the egg bites from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes.
Gently run a knife around the edges of each egg bite to loosen them, then carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
Serve the egg bites warm, or allow them to cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
