Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Cottage cheese (low-fat)
- 0.25 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (low-fat)
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- as needed Cooking spray
- 4 cups Hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and set aside.
Spray a silicone muffin tray or a non-stick muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a blender, combine egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Evenly distribute the diced red bell pepper and spinach leaves across the muffin cups.
Pour the egg white mixture into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 of the way to allow room for expansion while baking.
Place the muffin tin inside a large baking dish or roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the muffin tin. This water bath ensures the bites stay soft and creamy while cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the water bath and let the egg bites cool for 5-10 minutes before gently loosening them from the tin.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
