Description
Protein-packed egg white bites from Mediterranean cuisine blend savory herbs with creamy feta cheese. Delicate morsels offer a nutritious breakfast or elegant appetizer that people savor with pleasure.
Ingredients
- 8 large egg whites (or 2 cups egg whites)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or mozzarella)
- ½ cup cooked turkey bacon or chicken sausage, chopped
- ¼ cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ½ cup baby spinach, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (for spice)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and thoroughly coat muffin tin with cooking spray or silicone liners to prevent adhesion.
- Mixture Development: Whisk egg whites with cottage cheese, incorporating salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until achieving a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Ingredient Distribution: Evenly scatter cheese, vegetables, and protein across muffin cups, creating a balanced flavor profile in each compartment.
- Filling and Baking: Gently pour egg white blend into muffin cavities, filling approximately three-quarters full, then transfer to preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden and set.
- Cooling and Stabilization: Remove from oven and allow egg white bites to rest for 5 minutes, enabling them to firm up and easily release from the tin.
- Storage and Preservation: Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months, providing flexible meal preparation options for convenient nutrition.
- Reheating Protocol: Microwave for 30 seconds when ready to consume, restoring optimal temperature and maintaining original appetizing texture.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking Carefully: Use silicone muffin liners or generously spray the tin to ensure easy removal without breaking the delicate egg white bites.
- Balance Ingredients Strategically: Distribute cheese, vegetables, and protein evenly across each muffin cup to guarantee consistent flavor and texture in every bite.
- Control Liquid Consistency: Blend egg whites and cottage cheese thoroughly to create a smooth mixture that prevents separation during baking and ensures a uniform, creamy texture.
- Master Reheating Technique: Microwave for only 30 seconds to maintain the original moisture and prevent rubbery texture when enjoying leftover egg white bites.
