Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.

Add the low-fat cottage cheese, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, and parmesan cheese to the egg whites. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Stir in the salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped fresh spinach, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Step 8
Allow the egg bites to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then carefully remove them using a spatula.
