How To Make the Egg White Muffins with Veggies

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a non-stick muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone muffin liners.

Step 2: Chop the Veggies

Dice the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the spinach. You can also add other veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms.

Step 3: Whisk the Egg Whites

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites until lightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Add the chopped veggies and crumbled feta to the bowl. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin

Pour the egg white mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. Allow to cool slightly before removing.


Serving and Storing These Muffins

Egg White Muffins with Veggies are best enjoyed warm out of the oven, but they also make a fabulous cold breakfast or snack. Pair them with a side of fruit or avocado toast for a complete, nourishing meal. Hosting brunch? Stack them on a platter with fresh herbs sprinkled on top—they look and taste impressive!

To store, let them cool completely and place in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or pop into a toaster oven for a crisper bite. These muffins also freeze beautifully for up to 2 months; just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use whole eggs instead of just egg whites?

Absolutely! If you prefer whole eggs, use about 6 large eggs in place of 1 cup of egg whites. The result will be richer and more filling.

Can I add meat like bacon or sausage?

Yes! Cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, or even diced ham are all great protein boosters.

How do I prevent the muffins from sticking?

Using non-stick spray generously or opting for silicone muffin liners will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Are these muffins keto-friendly?

They sure are! With no added carbs and packed with protein and fat from the cheese, these muffins fit well into a keto plan.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes, simply omit the feta or replace it with a dairy-free cheese alternative.

What other vegetables can I use?

Feel free to experiment! Bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and mushrooms all work beautifully in this recipe.
