Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Liquid egg whites
- 0.5 cup Cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 0.5 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Spinach, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray.
In a high-speed blender, combine the liquid egg whites and cottage cheese. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
Pour the blended egg white mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced red bell pepper, chopped spinach, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir to combine.
Evenly divide the mixture among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool for 5 minutes. Carefully run a small knife around the edges of each egg bite to release them from the tin.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month and reheated in the microwave.
