Tips & Variations

  • For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the egg whites before baking.
  • Swap out feta for cheddar or goat cheese for different flavors.
  • Feel free to add herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness.
  • Use whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini or kale.

Storage

Store leftover egg white bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warmed through. These bites also freeze well; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

How to Serve

Two small round egg white muffins sit on a white plate with a thin brown rim, placed on a white marbled surface. Each muffin is about two layers tall, the bottom layer is a light yellow cooked egg base, and the top is a mix of white egg whites with bright green spinach leaves and red tomato pieces embedded within. The tops are sprinkled with black pepper, adding texture. To the left of the muffins is a small bunch of fresh green watercress and one bright red grape tomato. A green cloth napkin is partly visible on the right side, and in the background, a carton of egg whites stands with clear blue and red labeling. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
