Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup spinach (chopped)
- 1/4 cup bell pepper (diced)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and cottage cheese. Whisk them together until well blended and smooth.
- Add the shredded cheese to the egg mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- Fold in the chopped spinach and diced bell pepper. Make sure the vegetables are evenly mixed throughout the egg and cheese mixture.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Mix well to ensure that the seasoning is evenly incorporated.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for rising during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Once cooked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each egg bite to help release them from the tin.
- Gently pop the egg bites out of the muffin tin and place them on a serving platter. Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy your homemade Copycat Starbucks Egg White Bites as a healthy breakfast option or snack!
Tips
- Use room temperature egg whites for a smoother, more consistent mixture
- Don't overfill the muffin cups - leave about 1/4 inch at the top for rising
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese combinations like goat cheese or pepper jack
- Invest in silicone muffin cups for the easiest removal and cleanest presentation
- These egg bites can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 4 days - perfect for meal prep!
- For a protein boost, consider adding a small amount of protein powder to the egg mixture
- Allow the egg bites to cool slightly before removing from the tin to prevent breaking
- If you want a firmer texture, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the egg mixture
