Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups egg or 12 egg whites, white, liquid form
- ½ cup cottage cheese 2-4%
- ½-1 teaspoon hot sauce optional
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper to taste
- ½ cup red bell pepper fresh or roasted (see note, finely diced
- ½ cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- ½ cup spinach chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons green onion chopped
- parsley optional, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the egg whites, cottage cheese, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a large bowl with a spout or measuring cup and whisk until well combined. Alternatively, you can blend this in a blender for 10-20 seconds, or until smooth, for a fluffier bite.
- Mix in the cheeses, bell pepper, spinach, and green onions. Stir until just combined.
- Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and fill each one to ¾ full. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the eggs are set and no longer jiggly.
- Serve immediately with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes
- Using carton egg whites speeds preparation without sacrificing quality.
- Dry roasted red bell peppers thoroughly before mixing to avoid sogginess.
- Use a well-greased muffin pan to prevent sticking when baking.
- Egg white bites store in an airtight container up to 3-5 days in the fridge or 2-3 months frozen.
- Reheat by covering with a damp paper towel and microwaving until warm to retain moisture.
