8 large egg whites

1/4 cup cottage cheese

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

In a blender, combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and frothy.

Pour the egg white mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Sprinkle the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using) evenly into each cup.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on the edges.

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before gently removing them.

Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.

Variations

I like switching up the flavors by trying these variations:

Vegetable Medley: Add mushrooms, zucchini, or diced tomatoes for more texture and nutrients.

Spicy Kick: Mix in a pinch of red chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Herb Infusion: Incorporate fresh basil, parsley, or dill for added aroma and flavor.

Cheese-Free: Skip the cheese for a lighter version.

Meaty Option: Add diced cooked turkey bacon or chicken sausage for extra protein.

Storage/Reheating

To store, I place the egg white bites in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For reheating, I microwave them for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through. They also freeze well—just wrap each bite individually in plastic wrap, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and thaw overnight before reheating.
