If you are looking for an easy and delicious breakfast for a group or to make ahead and eat for a few days yourself, try this baked egg white bites recipe.
You don’t need any special equipment outside of your oven and a standard size muffin tin. Plus, you can customize these all sorts of ways!
Egg White Bites Ingredients:
- Egg Whites – or you can use the whole egg (see recipe notes)
- Cottage Cheese – adds creaminess plus more protein
- Salt + Pepper
- Add-ons: bacon bits, green onion, chopped red pepper, etc.
How to make egg white bites:
Simply stir together all the ingredients. Pour into a greased muffin pan and bake at 350°F for 25-28 minutes.
You can keep these baked egg white bites plain or add on any mix in ingredients you want. I typically add bacon bits or crumbled veggie sausage, chopped green onion, and a little cheddar cheese sprinkled on top before baking.
How long do egg white bites stay good for?
After baking, you can store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least three days (and probably longer).
