Ingredients

Egg Whites

  • Egg whites (quantity as per muffin count, e.g., 8-10 large egg whites)

Vegetables

  • Diced bell peppers (about 1/2 cup)
  • Fresh spinach (1/2 cup, chopped)
  • Diced tomatoes (1/4 cup)

Cheese

  • Shredded cheddar or feta cheese (1/4 cup)

Herbs and Spices

  • Fresh parsley (1 tablespoon, chopped)
  • Fresh chives (1 tablespoon, chopped)
  • Paprika (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Optional Add-ins

  • Cooked bacon bits (2 tablespoons)
  • Diced mushrooms (1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with silicone liners for easy removal.
  2. Whisk the Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites until they are frothy to ensure a light and airy texture.
  3. Add Veggies, Cheese, and Seasonings: Gently fold in your chosen vegetables, cheese, herbs, and spices, distributing evenly without deflating the egg whites.
  4. Pour into Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  5. Bake Until Set: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until muffins are firm to the touch and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the muffin cups to prevent overflowing and ensure even cooking.
  • Use fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Whisk egg whites well to achieve fluffier muffins.
  • Silicone muffin liners help muffins release easily without sticking or breaking.
  • Check muffins early (around 18 minutes) to avoid overcooking and dryness.
