High Protein Egg White Bites
These high protein egg white bites are loaded with flavor! The best part is, they’re super customizable. Add your favorite veggies and other toppings for a quick meal prep breakfast.
This recipe was inspired by Starbucks egg white bites. But let’s be honest, these are super easy to make yourself. Plus, you can save time and money when cooking meals at home.
I’m a big fan of simple recipes. Combine all your ingredients in a bowl, transfer the mixture to a muffin tray, and cook for 20 minutes. That’s pretty much it when it comes to this recipe.
The options are endless when it comes to these high protein egg white bites. Don’t like the taste of onions? No problem. Omit them from the recipe and add another veggie you prefer instead.
Egg White Bites Ingredients
For this recipe we’re making flavorful egg white bites with only a handful of ingredients. Feel free to mix and match veggies and toppings to suit your preferences. Here’s what you will need:
- 2 cups egg whites
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cheddar cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
I highly recommend using pasteurized egg whites. You can buy them by the carton and they’re much easier than cracking eggs and wasting the yolks in the process.
Kitchen Tools You Need
I tried keeping this recipe as simple as possible. You don’t muffin liners, but you will need a muffin tray and non-stick cooking spray to prevent the egg white bites from sticking.
I find using a food scale makes the process much easier when figuring out how much cheese to use. For measuring ingredients, you’ll need these sizes: 1/4 tsp, 1/4 cup, and 1 cup.
How to Make Egg White Bites
Start off by preheating your oven to 350° F. Then grab your muffin pan and spray the surface with non-stick cooking spray (or use olive oil). When the eggs are finished cooking, this will make them easier to remove from the pan.
Begin cutting your onion and pepper into small pieces. You want to make sure the veggies are small enough to fit inside the muffin tray. Then pour 2 cups of egg whites into a large measuring bowl and add garlic, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the ingredients around until everything is mixed together. Transfer the chopped veggies to your muffin tray and pour egg whites over the veggies. Make sure the liquid is evenly spaced and avoid overfilling each tray.
Top the egg white bites off with cheese, before placing the muffin tray in the oven for 20 minutes. If the egg white bites jiggle after this amount of time, cook them for a few extra minutes.
Storage Tips
These high protein egg white bites are perfect for meal prep. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If you want to keep them longer, try storing them in the freezer for 3-6 months.
Just make sure to place the egg white bites in a sealed container, or shrink wrap them with plastic. This makes meal prepping so much easier, because it’s truly a heat and eat recipe.
Other Toppings
Like I mentioned above, these high protein egg white bites are highly customizable. I like peppers and onions, but that doesn’t mean you do. Some other toppings you can include are:
- Bacon
- Sausage
- Turkey
- Broccoli
- Mushrooms
- Avocado
- Feta
- Hot sauce
