Description
Egg White Bites with Cottage Cheese are a healthy and protein-rich snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups liquid egg whites
- 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère or sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Start by placing your egg whites, cottage cheese, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for about thirty to forty seconds. Let it sit for a minute.
- Prepare your add-ins by finely dicing the roasted red peppers and chopping the baby spinach into small ribbons.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F. Use a silicone muffin pan for easy removal.
- Divide your diced peppers and chopped spinach evenly among the twelve muffin cups.
- Carefully pour the blended egg mixture over the vegetables in each cup, filling them about three-quarters of the way. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese over the top.
- Use a water bath by pouring about an inch of hot water into a large metal baking sheet holding your silicone muffin pan.
- Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the centers are set but still have a slight jiggle.
- Once done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the egg white bites sit in the silicone pan for at least five to ten minutes.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
