Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs equivalent (about 1.5 cups) Egg whites
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a muffin tin generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, cooked spinach, low-sodium cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Carefully pour the egg white mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg white bites are firm and lightly golden on top.
Remove from oven and let the egg white bites cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully removing.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These can also be frozen for longer storage; simply reheat in the microwave before serving.
