Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
Whisk Egg Whites: In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy and slightly aerated. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
Add Fillings: Gently fold in the diced vegetables, shredded cheese, and cooked meat if using, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients throughout the egg whites.
Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the egg white bites are set and lightly golden on the top.
Cool and Serve: Let the egg white bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve them warm or store for later consumption.

Notes

Feel free to customize the vegetables and meats to your liking or dietary preferences.
Using muffin liners makes cleanup easier and helps the bites release cleanly from the tin.
These bites freeze well; reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick snack or breakfast.
For a vegetarian version, omit the cooked meat or replace with plant-based alternatives.
