Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 12 large egg whites (1.5 cups)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tablespoons feta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Vegetable Mixture

  • ½ cup roasted red bell pepper (or fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1.9 oz frozen spinach (thawed and well drained)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives (or green onions, finely sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Water Bath: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a 12-cup silicone muffin tray on a baking tray with deep sides. Boil water in a kettle or on the stovetop for the water bath.
  2. Blend Egg Mixture: In a blender, combine egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, feta cheese, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
  3. Prepare Vegetable Mixture: Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained by squeezing out excess moisture. In a small bowl, mix the drained spinach with the chopped roasted red peppers and fresh chives until well combined.
  4. Prepare Muffin Tray: If desired, spray the silicone muffin pan cups lightly with non-stick spray to aid removal later.
  5. Assemble the Bites: Evenly divide the roasted red pepper and spinach mixture among the muffin cups. Then pour the blended egg white mixture over the vegetable layer in each cup, filling them up.
  6. Create Water Bath: Carefully pour the boiling water into the baking tray beneath the silicone muffin tray, filling it until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin cups. This water bath will gently cook the egg bites evenly.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the egg white bites are firm to the touch and the tops begin to turn a light golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tray from the water bath and let the egg bites cool for about 10 minutes before gently removing them from the cups. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure the spinach is well-drained to avoid watery egg bites.
  • Adjust the hot sauce quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • You can substitute fresh bell peppers if roasted are unavailable.
  • Non-stick spray helps with easy removal but is optional when using silicone pans.
  • Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
