Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup egg whites about 8 large – The base of the recipe, egg whites are a fantastic source of high-quality protein while being low in calories and fat.
  • ½ cup diced veggies such as spinach, bell peppers, or onions – Adding vegetables not only enhances the flavor and texture but also boosts the nutritional profile, introducing essential vitamins and minerals.
  • ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar, feta, or mozzarella – Cheese adds a creamy texture and rich flavor to the bites. For a healthier option, consider using low-fat cheese or even dairy-free cheese substitutes for lactose intolerant individuals.
  • ½ cup cooked meat optional; turkey bacon or chicken – Incorporating lean meats like turkey or chicken increases the protein content and makes the bites more filling. If opting for a vegetarian version, simply omit this ingredient or replace it with additional vegetables.
  • Salt and pepper to taste – These seasonings enhance the flavors of the ingredients making each bite deliciously savory.
  • Cooking spray or muffin liners – Necessary for easy removal of the bites after baking without any sticking.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with muffin liners to ensure easy removal.
  2. Whisk the egg whites in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture is frothy, which helps to introduce air and creates a light texture in the bites.
  3. Fold in the veggies (½ cup diced veggies of your choice), cheese (½ cup shredded cheese), and your choice of cooked meat (½ cup of turkey bacon or cooked chicken) if using. Make sure to mix gently to maintain the airiness of the egg whites.
  4. Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full with the egg mixture. This provides room for the bites to rise slightly while baking.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and set. Insert a toothpick into the center of one of the bites to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool slightly before serving warm, or let them cool completely before storing for later use. Enjoy your nutritious bites!
