👩🍳 How to Make High Protein Egg White Bites
-
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or use a silicone muffin tray. -
Sauté Veggies
In a small pan, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened. Set aside. -
Blend Egg Whites and Cottage Cheese
In a blender, combine egg whites, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. This step gives the bites a fluffy texture. -
Combine Ingredients
In a bowl, mix the sautéed veggies and chopped spinach. Add shredded cheese if using. Pour the egg white mixture over the veggies and stir gently. -
Fill Muffin Tin
Pour the mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. -
Bake
Bake in the oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden. -
Cool and Serve
Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm, or cool completely and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Use a silicone muffin pan or grease your metal tin generously with non-stick spray or oil.
Q: Are these keto-friendly?
Yes! They are low in carbs and high in protein, making them suitable for a keto diet.
Q: Can I make these without a blender?
You can whisk by hand, but blending helps create a smoother, fluffier texture.
