Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups egg whites fresh or carton, cold
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs chopped chives or dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for depth
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped vegetables bell peppers or spinach, drained
  • 2 tablespoons cheese optional, shredded or crumbled
  • spray cooking spray or neutral oil

Equipment

  • Blender or whisk
  • Muffin tin
  • Silicone spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Spray or brush

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and spraying your muffin tin with a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. If using fresh eggs, crack and separate the egg whites into a large mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until the whites are slightly frothy and bubbly, about 30 seconds, creating a light, airy foam.
  3. Add salt, pepper, chopped herbs, and smoked paprika to the egg whites. Gently fold or whisk to combine evenly, infusing the mixture with vibrant aromas and flavor.
  4. Fold in your drained vegetables and cheese, if using, making sure they’re evenly distributed without deflating the foam.
  5. Pour the mixture carefully into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full to give room for slight puffing during baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the tops are puffed and set. The bites should feel firm and spring back lightly when gently pressed.
  7. Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the bites rest for 5 minutes outside the oven—they’ll firm up slightly as they cool.
  8. Gently loosen the edges of each bite with a silicone spatula and carefully lift them out of the muffin tin.
  9. Serve the egg white bites warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra herbs or hot sauce if desired, and enjoy this light, customizable protein snack.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different herbs, spices, and vegetables to create your own signature flavor. For extra creaminess, add a small sprinkle of cheese or nutritional yeast before baking.
