Ingredients
2 cups egg whites
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons green onion or chives, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
non-stick cooking spray
1/3 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a non-stick muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Sauté chopped spinach, bell pepper, and any firm veggies in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
3. In a large bowl, pour egg whites and season with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped green onions or chives.
4. Evenly divide the sautéed veggies into the muffin cups, filling each about 1/3 full.
5. Carefully pour egg whites over the veggies until each muffin cup is about 3/4 full. Top with cheese if using.
6. Bake for 18–22 minutes until puffed and fully set. The tops should be firm and lightly golden.
7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then gently release with a knife and transfer to a wire rack or serve warm.
Notes
Let the muffins cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
Use a spouted measuring cup to pour egg whites cleanly into muffin cups.
Sauté watery vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini before using to avoid excess moisture.
