# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone liners. This ensures your High Protein Egg White Bites | Low Calorie Meal Prep release easily after baking.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups liquid egg whites and 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese until well combined. The cottage cheese adds a creamy texture and extra protein to your High Protein Egg White Bites | Low Calorie Meal Prep.
03 -
Gently fold in 1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach, 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions. Stir in 1/4 cup light shredded mozzarella cheese for a savory touch.
04 -
Add 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried dill, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the mixture. Season with salt to taste. These spices enhance the overall flavor of your High Protein Egg White Bites | Low Calorie Meal Prep.
05 -
Evenly distribute the egg white mixture among the 8 prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about three-quarters full to allow for a slight rise during baking.
06 -
Bake for 18 minutes, or until the High Protein Egg White Bites | Low Calorie Meal Prep are set in the center and lightly golden around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
07 -
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or allow to cool completely for convenient meal prepping.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to customize your bites with other finely chopped vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes. Just ensure they are finely diced to cook evenly.
02 -
Store cooled High Protein Egg White Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. They reheat beautifully in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
03 -
These bites are perfect for a quick breakfast, a light snack, or as part of a larger meal. Pair them with a side of fresh fruit or whole-wheat toast.
04 -
For an extra flavor kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture before baking. A dash of hot sauce after baking is also delicious!
