Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups liquid egg whites or 12 egg whites
- 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 finely diced red bell pepper fresh or roasted (see note)
- ½ cup shredded monterrey jack cheese
- ½ cup chopped fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- fresh parsley optional
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
- Eggs: Grab a carton of egg whites from the store to save time.
- Roasted Red Bell Peppers: Make sure to dry them thoroughly before adding into the mix.
- Find a spout. Mix the ingredients in a bowl or large measuring cup with a spout to make if much easier to pour.
- Muffin Tins: Make sure you're using a relatively new, scratch-free muffin tin that has been liberally coated in non-stick cooking spray so the bites do not stick.
- Fillings: You can choose just about anything from meat to cheese to veggies to put inside.
- Prep-Ahead: Purchase egg whites to save time. Chop vegetables up to 1-2 days before or shred cheese up to 3-5 days before.
- Storage: Place bites in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
- Freezing: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
- Reheating: Cover bites in a damp paper towel and warm in microwave until heated through.
