Ingredients
- 2 cups liquid egg whites
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot powder or tapioca starch)
- 1 dash of hot sauce
- 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup finely diced roasted red pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bring a kettle to a boil. If using a metal muffin pan, coat it with cooking spray or lightly grease the muffin cups with oil. If using a silicone muffin pan (recommended) or silicone molds, do not grease the muffin cups.
- In a food processor or blender, add the egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded Monterey jack, feta, melted butter, cornstarch, and hot sauce. Blend for 30 seconds or until smooth. Set aside.
- Add the chopped spinach, roasted red pepper, onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the bottom of each cup of the muffin pan, dividing it evenly among all 12 cups.
- Pour the egg whites mixture into the muffin pan, dividing it evenly among all 12 cups. Give each cup a quick whisk with a fork.
- Place the muffin pan on top of a baking sheet and transfer the sheet to the preheated oven with the muffin pan on top.
- Once in the oven, pour boiling water onto the baking sheet (find an exposed corner with enough room to add water) until it reaches 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the edges of the baking sheet. (While you can bake the muffin pan directly in the oven without the baking sheet and water, using them helps poach and steam the egg white bites, giving them a sous-vide texture.)
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until set.
- After cooking, remove the baking sheet and muffin pan from the oven. Transfer the muffin pan to a wire cooling rack for about 10 minutes or until the egg white bites are cool enough to handle.
- Once cooled, remove the egg white bites from the muffin cups and serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
