1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
17 -
1 tbsp olive oil (for greasing pan)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin generously with 1 tbsp olive oil, making sure to coat the sides and bottom of each cup thoroughly. This prevents sticking and ensures your Easy High Protein Egg White Bites release cleanly after baking.
02 -
In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté 1/4 cup diced white onion and 2 cloves minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. This step deepens the flavor of your Meal Prep Breakfast and prevents excess moisture in the bites.
03 -
In a blender or large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups liquid egg whites, 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese, 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, and 1/2 tsp baking powder. Blend or whisk vigorously until completely smooth. This creates the signature fluffy, creamy texture in every Easy High Protein Egg White Bite.
04 -
Stir in 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Seasoning your Easy High Protein Egg White Bites | Meal Prep Breakfast at this stage ensures every bite is packed with bold, well-balanced flavor throughout.
05 -
Gently fold in 1/2 cup diced cooked turkey bacon, 1/2 cup finely chopped baby spinach, 1/3 cup diced roasted red peppers (patted dry), and the sautéed onion and garlic. Patting the peppers dry is key — excess moisture can make your Easy High Protein Egg White Bites | Meal Prep Breakfast watery and dense.
06 -
Evenly pour or ladle the egg white mixture into the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of all 12 cups for a golden, melty cheese layer.
07 -
Bake at 350°F for 22-25 minutes, until the centers are fully set and the tops are lightly golden. Avoid opening the oven early, as this can cause deflating. Your Easy High Protein Egg White Bites | Meal Prep Breakfast are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 -
Let the bites rest in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully running a butter knife around the edges to release them. For the best Easy High Protein Egg White Bites | Meal Prep Breakfast results, allow them to cool fully on a wire rack before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
# Notes:
01 -
🧊 Storage Tip: Store cooled egg white bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze individually on a baking sheet then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 45-60 seconds straight from the fridge.
02 -
🔄 Substitution Tip: Swap turkey bacon for diced lean ham, cooked chicken sausage, or keep it fully vegetarian by using sun-dried tomatoes or sautéed mushrooms instead. Any low-moisture veggie works great in this flexible recipe.
03 -
🧀 Ingredient Tip: Make sure to pat the roasted red peppers very dry with paper towels before adding them. Excess liquid from jarred peppers is the number one reason egg white bites turn out watery or fail to set properly in the center.
04 -
🍽️ Serving Tip: These bites pair perfectly with a side of fresh fruit, avocado slices, or a light green salad for a complete high-protein breakfast. They're also great cold straight from the fridge, making them an ideal grab-and-go meal prep option.
