EGG WHITE BREAKFAST BITES
These low-calorie, low-fat egg bites make a quick weekday breakfast and they're equally as convenient for midday snacks. In order not to waste egg yolks and to save time, I like to use a carton of liquid egg whites. Egg whites tend to be rubbery, so adding in the cottage cheese helps make them creamier. You can store extras in the freezer and reheat as needed.

EGG WHITE BITES
My husband actually calls these 'mini egg white pizzas,' because they puff up a lot in the oven, then deflate while cooling--and end up looking like little pizzas! No matter what you call them, they taste pretty good, and make for an easy grab-and-go snack! Extras may be frozen, and reheated before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Combine egg whites, Greek yogurt, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cayenne in a bowl; whisk until smooth and no lumps remain. Mix in red bell pepper, spinach, and Cheddar cheese.
- Divide egg mixture between the 12 muffin cups, filling until almost full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until egg bites puff up substantially and begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes; bites will deflate substantially at this time. Run a knife around the edges and bottoms to loosen and remove from the cups. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs for the best results. Older eggs may not whip up as well and may have a higher chance of containing bacteria.
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start cooking. This will help them whip up more easily.
- Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to whip the egg whites. This will save you time and effort.
- Whip the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk out of the bowl, the peaks of the egg whites should stand up straight.
- Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and crumbly.
- Fold in the other ingredients gently. Overmixing can deflate the egg whites and make them tough.
- Bake the egg white bites in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are set. You can also use a microwave to make egg white bites. Microwave them on high for 30-45 seconds per bite, or until they are set.
- Let the egg white bites cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy them warm or cold.
Conclusion:
Egg white bites are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or snack. They are a great way to use up leftover egg whites, and they can be customized to your liking. With so many different flavor variations to choose from, there's sure to be an egg white bite recipe that everyone will enjoy.
