Roasted Red Pepper Egg White Bites

Total Time40 minutes
Servings: 6 Egg Cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped kale
  • ½ cup drained and finely chopped roasted red bell pepper from the jar
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 cups egg whites
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Dash of cayenne

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉. Place the silicone muffin pan on a baking sheet.
  • Gently spray the silicone muffin pan with avocado oil spray or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Evenly divide the kale and the chopped red bell pepper among the bottom of each muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg whites, 1/3 cup of the Monterey jack cheese, the salt, pepper, and dash of cayenne until very well combined.
  • Pour the egg white mixture over the kale and red pepper until about ¾ of the way full. Sprinkle the remaining Monterey jack on top.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the eggs have just set, about 30 minutes. They will puff up during the cooking process, but will fall as they cool.
  • Let the egg bites cool for about 10 minutes in the silicone muffin pan then, using a small rubber spatula or butter knife, carefully loosen up the edges of the cooked egg bit, then lift them out.
