Instructions
Making High-Protein Egg White Bites is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even cooking.
2. Prepare the Muffin Pan: Grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or a little oil to prevent sticking.
3. Mix Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy and combined. This creates a light texture.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, chopped onion, and garlic powder to the egg whites. Mix until well incorporated.
5. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Remember, seasoning is key to enhancing the overall flavor.
6. Incorporate Cheese: Gently fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
7. Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about ¾ of the way full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the bites are set and lightly golden on top.
9. Cool and Remove: Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, carefully remove them using a spoon or spatula.
10. Serve or Store: Enjoy your delicious High-Protein Egg White Bites immediately or allow them to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge.
These steps make it easy for anyone to create these incredible protein-packed snacks.
