Serves: 16
Ingredients
4 cups egg whites
3 Tablespoons milk (dairy, almond, coconut, etc.)
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup spinach; chopped
⅓ cup onion; chopped
⅓ cup bell peppers; chopped
½ cup mozzarella cheese; shredded (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
I didn't want to use any oil in this recipe, so I heated a small amount of water (a couple of tablespoons) in a pan on top of the stove for a couple minutes. I added the peppers and onions to the pan and cooked for 3-5 minutes, until soft (I put a lid on top of the pan to help it cook faster.)
Add spinach and cook until wilted.
In large mixing bowl, mix egg whites, milk, seasoned salt and pepper. Mix well with a wire whisk.
Add softened veggies to the egg mixture and mix together.
Pour mixture into muffin tin sprayed with oil.
Add a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese to the top of each uncooked muffin.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until set.
Let the "muffins" cool and then transfer to a sealed container and keep in the fridge.
When ready to eat, heat in microwave for 30+ seconds and enjoy! These are especially good topped with a little natural ketchup or salsa.
