Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups liquid egg whites, (or from about 24 large eggs)
  • ½ cup nonfat cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup roasted red bell peppers, finely chopped

Start Cooking

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Spray a 12-cup silicone muffin tin with nonstick spray.
    While this recipe will also work in a metal muffin pan, you will have a hard time getting the egg bites out in one piece.
  2. Blend the base
    In a blender, combine 2 cups egg whites, ½ cup cottage cheese, ¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, and ½ teaspoon salt. Blend until completely smooth and frothy.

  3. Pour into muffin tin
    Divide the blended mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

  4. Add mix-ins
    Evenly distribute ¼ cup roasted red peppers, ¼ cup chopped spinach, 2 tablespoons feta, and 1 sliced green onion across all cups, lightly stirring or pushing them under the surface with a spoon.
    Adding roasted red pepper pieces to Starbucks egg white bite mixture in muffin tin before baking for bright color and flavor.
  5. Prepare water bath
    Place the muffin tin inside a larger roasting pan or baking dish. Pour hot water into the outer dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin tin.

  6. Bake
    Transfer to the oven and bake 30 to 35 minutes, until bites are just set and slightly puffed but not browned.
  7. Cool & serve
    Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes; they will firm up as they cool. Remove and enjoy warm, or store for later.
