Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 16 oz egg whites
  • 5 oz cottage cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°. Prepare your muffin tin by spraying with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Preheat a fry pan over medium heat with olive oil. Once hot, add onion and pepper, cooking until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the spinach and scallions, cooking for an additional 1 minute. Set aside.
    ½ tbsp olive oil, ½ cup chopped red bell pepper, ½ cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped spinach , 2 scallions
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and cheese. Add in the veggie mixture, mixing until fully combined.
    16 oz egg whites, 5 oz cottage cheese, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, ½ cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • Using a ¼ measuring cup, scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin pan.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes or until muffins have puffed up and egg whites are completely cooked (not jiggly in the middle). The muffins will sink back down as they cool.
  • Muffins are best served warm. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheated in the microwave.

Notes

  • These can be stored in the fridge or freezer. I prefer the fridge because putting cooked eggs in the freezer can change the texture a bit. 
  • Feel free to add other add-ins. Examples: meat (bacon, sausage, chorizo), cheese, other veggies (tomatoes, mushrooms).
  • Reheat these in the microwave- line your plate with a paper towel as they can release water when heated up again. 
  • Chop your veggies first and then measure to make sure you have an accurate measurement.
