How to Make Savory Egg White Breakfast Muffins
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a muffin tin and lightly spray it with olive oil or nonstick spray — trust me, you don’t want to skip this step!
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
In a skillet, lightly sauté your chopped bell peppers, spinach, and onions until softened. This gets rid of extra moisture and boosts the flavor.
Step 3: Whisk It All Together
In a large bowl, whisk your egg whites with a pinch of salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you love. Stir in the sautéed veggies and a sprinkle of cheese.
Step 4: Pour and Bake
Evenly divide the mixture into your muffin tin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Pop them into the oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the tops are puffy and set.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Let them cool slightly before popping them out. They’re perfect hot or cold!
