Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 16 Ounce Carton of egg whites or approx 14 large egg whites which should yield about 2 cups.
  • 1 Cup Red bell peppers
  • 1/2 Cup Diced green peppers
  • 1 Cup 1 cup diced yellow onion chopped
  • 1 Cup Fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 Cup Mushrooms diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking Spray

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously spray a non-stick or silicone muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Heat olive oil into a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in spinach and mushrooms and cook an additional 2 minutes.  Set aside.
  3. Whisk the egg whites into a medium-sized bowl. Season with salt and pepper. You can then add the vegetable mixture with the egg whites, then pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, leaving 1/4″ from the top.  Alternatively, you could place a heaping teaspoon of the vegetables into each cup, followed by the egg whites.
  4. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg whites are set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffin cups cool for a few minutes.
    Carefully remove the muffin cups from the tin using a butter knife or small spatula.
  6. Serve the egg white muffin cups warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
