These fluffy high protein egg white bites are a quick, easy, and versatile breakfast option packed with protein and fresh veggies. Perfect for busy mornings or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large egg whites (about 240 ml or 8 fl oz)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped (about 15 g)
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (about 40 g)
  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil or non-stick spray for greasing the muffin tin or pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin or silicone molds lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Chop your veggies: finely dice the red bell pepper, chop the spinach, and slice the green onions.
  3. Whisk the egg whites in a mixing bowl until frothy but not stiff, about 1-2 minutes by hand.
  4. Fold in the cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper gently but thoroughly.
  5. Carefully fold in the diced bell pepper, chopped spinach, and green onions.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the bites puff up and turn slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes to set and make removal easier.
  9. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use fresh egg whites for fluffier bites. Avoid over-mixing to keep air in the egg whites. Grease the pan well to prevent sticking. Variations include adding mushrooms, jalapeños, herbs, or swapping cottage cheese for dairy-free alternatives for vegan options. Reheat frozen bites in microwave for 45-60 seconds or oven at 300°F for 10 minutes.
