Favorite mix-in’s

There are so many ways to customize these egg white muffins. You can use sausage, ham, bacon or even leave out the meat. I like to use the precooked turkey sausage from Jimmy Dean when I’m in a hurry.

If you’d like to add cheese, feel free to mix in 1/4-1/2 cup shredded cheddar or feta cheese before baking. You can even add a little salsa or hot sauce for a kick.

How to make egg white cups

Step 1: Cook veggies and meat on stove

Using a non-stick frying pan, saute the bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add in the meat, spinach and tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Place 1 heaping Tablespoon of the mixture into each muffin cup.

Step 2: Add the egg whites

Whisk the egg whites, then stir in salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the meat mixture into each muffin cup, leaving about 1/4″ from the top.

Step 3: Bake the egg white muffins

Cook in the oven at 350°F for 23 to 30 minutes, or until the egg has puffed and comes clean with a toothpick. To easily pop them out, run a knife around the edges. Top with extra tomatoes, salsa or hot sauce if desired. Enjoy while hot!

Tip: Spray the muffin pan generously with olive oil spray. I like to use silicone muffin pans for easy clean up.

Storing, freezing and reheating

To store: Make sure the egg muffins have cooled, then store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or bag. They will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

To freeze: Let them cool completely, then place in an airtight container or freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheat from fridge: Reheat in microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm throughout.

Reheat from frozen: Reheat in microwave for 45 seconds, or until warm. You can also let them thaw in the fridge overnight, then microwave for about 30 seconds the next morning.
